Completing care plans and following Norse care procedures and policies.

Working closely with the tenants at Lloyd Court, listening to their views and acting on these. Ensuring that they are at the forefront of everything I do throughout.

Promoting positive relationships with my work colleagues, by leading by example, promoting positive person centered care. Part of this is to continue as well-being lead, promoting the care support staff to carry out activities and events I have planned, ensuring tenant's continue to have their social and emotional needs met.

Working with management, which has changed regularly throughout my time at Lloyd Court, I have been able to adapt working with different mangers, and in recent times I have had to adapt my role to include more managerial responsibilities.

Due to my commitment to Lloyd Court and the tenant's I am always happy to help cover shifts whenever needed.

On a daily occurrence I speak to a variety of professionals, including health professionals, social workers etc. I also communicate daily with tenant's families. Always in a professional manner.

I have continued to complete my training on Apollo and have recently started my NVQ4.
