Summary
I am compassionate and reliable. I possess experience supporting vulnerable adults in a safe, respectful, and patient-focused focused. Across my previous roles in care, administration and hairstyling, I have developed strong communication, empathy, patience and attention to detail, all of which I bring into my daily care practice. I am confident in building trust with service users, families, and colleagues, promoting dignity, choice and independence at all times. My background in administration has strengthened my organisational, time management, and record-keeping skills. Working with a wide range of clients has helped me stay calm, friendly, and professional under pressure. I have recently completed phlebotomy and childcare training and am now seeking a care role where I can use my full range of skills to provide high-quality support and make a positive difference to people’s lives.
