Summary
I am a motivated first-year BSc (Hons) Adult Nursing student at Birmingham City University, with one year of hands-on care experience. This includes a five-month placement at PJ Care as a Student Care Worker and six months as a paid Care Assistant at Athena Care Home, where I supported residents with personal care, mealtime assistance, documentation and care planning, daily checks, dementia support, and mental health assistance. I am compassionate and reliable, with strong skills in infection prevention and control, manual handling, and safeguarding. I work effectively as part of a care team while maintaining dignity and person-centred care, and I am eager to continue developing my clinical skills within a healthcare setting.

Care Assistant
Athena Care Home
Peterborough, UK
2026.04 - 2026.09
- I worked as a paid Care Assistant, supporting residents with their personal care needs including bathing, dressing, and oral hygiene, maintaining and respecting the dignity and privacy of residents. I carried out safe manual handling using a range of equipment, including hoists, sara stedy, and other standing aids, following my training and best-practice guidelines to keep residents and colleagues safe. I encouraged residents to make their own choices wherever possible, such as what to eat and how they wished to spend their day, to help promote their independence while providing person-centred care. I kept accurate, up-to-date documentation of the care I provided, daily checks, and any changes in residents' wellbeing, reporting concerns promptly to senior staff. I followed strict infection prevention and control procedures in everything I did. I built warm, trusting relationships with residents and worked closely with the multidisciplinary team to deliver consistent, compassionate support.
Student Care Worker
PJ Care
Peterborough, UK
2025.02 - 2025.07
- I completed a six-month placement as part of my T Level in Health and Social Care, gaining hands-on experience within a professional care environment. I supported residents with personal care such as bathing, dressing, oral hygiene, and toileting, as well as mobility where required. I assisted with mealtime support, completed daily documentation in line with care plans, and reported changes in residents' physical or emotional wellbeing to senior staff. I escorted residents on outings alongside other members of staff, making sure they felt safe and comfortable throughout. Alongside the practical care I provided, I focused on building genuine, trusting relationships with residents, taking time to talk with them, listen to their concerns, and offer companionship and reassurance. This placement gave me a strong foundation in teamwork, communication, and time management.
