Summary

I am a highly skilled and motivated Health Care Assistant with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals with dementia, learning disabilities, and mental health conditions. I am deeply passionate about improving people's lives and ensuring that every individual under my care receives the highest level of attention, dignity, and support.
My work has given me valuable insight into a wide range of mental health conditions, and I am eager to continue learning and advancing my knowledge in this area—whether through further study in nursing or public health. I believe that people with mental health challenges are often unfairly judged or misunderstood due to a widespread lack of education. Changing these negative attitudes is essential, and I am committed to being part of that change through both compassionate care and advocacy.
In my role, I provide not only physical assistance but also emotional support and mental stimulation, contributing to the holistic well-being of those I care for. I am diligent in monitoring symptoms, recording progress, and working collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams to improve health outcomes and quality of life for patients.
