Summary

I am a dedicated and compassionate care professional with extensive experience supporting vulnerable individuals to live with dignity, comfort, and independence. Having worked as a Senior Carer and later as a Care Coordinator, I have developed a deep understanding of both hands-on care and the coordination of high-quality support services. My background has equipped me with excellent leadership, communication, and organizational skills, as well as the ability to manage complex care needs with empathy and professionalism.

I take great pride in my ability to build trusting relationships, promote independence, and deliver care that makes a genuine difference in people’s lives. I am now seeking to bring my skills, compassion, and commitment to excellence back into a hands-on Care Worker role, where I can continue to provide high-quality support and contribute positively to a caring and respectful team environment.
