I have worked in different care settings since 2005, supporting individuals with learning difficulties, the elderly, and people with complex needs (MS). My duties have included support with personal care, daily living activities, shopping, managing finances, laundry, cooking and companionship. As well as working as a carer I have worked for several years as a qualified Social Worker.
I enjoy seeing people achieving their person centred goals and take control of their life sometimes during difficult circumstances. It is great to help clients plan tasks and suggest ways in which they can achieve them, then to see the positive results, which gives me great job satisfaction.
I am very calm natured, good at solving problems and very trustworthy and reliable. I am always the first person friends contact in times of need as they know I am there for them. I am a very good listener, empathetic and sensitive.
