In my current role with NASHE-UK, I support children and young people with complex behavioural and safeguarding needs, administer medication safely, and maintain accurate documentation including daily logs, incident reports, and risk assessments. Previously, at Chitungwiza Hospital, I provided personal care, monitored vital signs, supported nurses with clinical tasks, and ensured strict infection control compliance in a busy hospital environment.

I am trained in First Aid, Medication Administration, Manual Handling, and Infection Control, and I hold a Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care, supported by additional qualifications in Autism and Adult Support Work. I also have five GCSEs including English Language.
• I am passionate about delivering high-quality care that promotes dignity, independence, and safety. I would welcome the opportunity to bring my experience, commitment, and enthusiasm to your team and contribute to excellent patient outcomes.
