Summary

I am a compassionate and dedicated healthcare professional, serving as a Senior Carer in a care home. I have gained over 3.5 years of nursing experience in Nepal and built further hands-on experience in the United Kingdom as a Care Assistant and Senior Care Assistant. I commit to providing high-quality, person-centred care that respects residents' dignity, choices, and needs. My experience has strengthened my understanding of both clinical and emotional care. I ensure residents always feel safe, supported, and valued.


In my current role, I support residents with daily living, including personal care, mobility, and nutrition. I also promote their emotional well-being. I can safely administer medication, complete clinical observations, and keep accurate care records. I support care planning in accordance with organisational policies and regulatory standards. I work closely with nurses, managers, families, and teams to ensure continuity and positive outcomes. I follow safeguarding, infection prevention, health and safety, and confidentiality principles every day. I supervise and support staff, giving guidance and leadership to maintain high standards. I delegate tasks, manage workloads, and handle challenging situations or emergencies calmly. I stay organised and focused in fast-paced environments, always ensuring residents’ comfort and safety.


I have strong interpersonal and communication skills. I build trust with residents, families, and colleagues. I approach work with empathy, patience, and respect, especially when helping those with dementia or providing end-of-life care. I am a good team player who values open communication and problem-solving for the best care outcomes. I am a motivated and compassionate Carer dedicated to improving residents’ lives. I aim to build my skills, leadership, and knowledge while supporting a safe, caring, and nurturing environment. I strive to enhance residents’ well-being and quality of life.
