I have a great knowledge base with experience in a variety of settings. I worked my way up the industry as a care assistant, mental health worker, to nursing assistant, health care trainer, care assessor, rehabilitation team leader, to assistant complex care manager.
I left my assistant manager role just under a year ago now, to commit to caring for a loved one, since then, my circumstances have changed and am no longer required to commit to this.
I have a passion and a caring attitude required for this role. I have a loving nature, passion, a caring attitude the experience behind me.
I have many different experiences such as being involved in babies’/toddlers’ emergency tracheostomy tube changes to provide ventilation and oxygen, to supporting a client through a complex rehab program after acquiring a brain injury and challenging behaviour, to providing and developing relevant companionship programs and healthy stimulation activities for different types of dementia patients.
I am also a qualified first aid instructor, with awareness of mental health first aid, mental health resilience and awareness of self-harm.
I have a good record of working well independently and manage my time on duty effectively. I am trustworthy and reliable and confident and I have obtained the level 3 health and social care qualification, level 4 counselling and psychotherapy and level 3 PTTLS teaching adults qualifications
I have experience with the re-ablement, I’m very approachable and flexible and am able to appreciate other people's perception and feelings towards things and I’m non-judgemental.
Any other information?
I am ideally looking for a role where the client wouldn't mind me moving in with the intention to be the full time live in carer. I was hoping to be matched with a client that likes dogs, and wouldn't mind dog living in the separate living space whilst I am on duty. My dog is very calm, and doesn't bark. I am willing to do a trial first.
Availability: I am looking to be the sole care worker working full time.
