I have worked within the NHS since 2000 as a health care assistant. I have worked with the elderly on chronic and acute wards at Orsett and Basildon Hospitals. In 2008 I went out into the community, first in Brentwood and then was transferred to Thurrock, going into peoples homes to give virtual ward care, which I loved. In 2025 I went to try something a bit different and got a job as a rehabilitation assistant in Brentwood Community Hospital, which I find very rewarding. I am a good team player and also work well alone. I have good time management and like to plan my working day, but I am also able to adapt and deal with any unexpected difficulties that may arise. I am quick to learn new things and adapt easy to change. I am flexible with in my approach to my working day, I am easy to get along with. I am open to criticism and love new challenges.
