About


I was motivated to become a social carer because I have always had a strong desire to help others and make a positive difference in people’s lives. Supporting individuals with complex needs and helping them maintain their independence and dignity is deeply rewarding for me. I’m passionate about building trust and creating a safe, comfortable environment where clients feel respected and valued. I believe I will be good at this role because of my extensive experience in personal care, including complex bowel care and behavior management. My training in areas like medication administration, mealtime assistance, and manual handling allows me to provide high-quality, professional care tailored to each participant's needs. I am also patient, reliable, and skilled at de-escalating challenging situations, which helps me build strong and positive relationships with clients. My ability to remain calm under pressure and adapt to different care situations ensures that I can deliver consistent and compassionate support. I am passionate about helping others and making a positive impact in people’s lives, especially through providing person-centered care and supporting individuals with complex needs. I find fulfillment in building trusting relationships and ensuring that those I care for feel valued and supported. My skills include personal care, complex bowel care (including Peristeen and digital stimulation), medication administration, behavior management, and manual handling. I am also skilled in meal preparation at specific consistency levels and assisting with thickened fluids to support dietary needs. My training in infection control and responding to serious incidents ensures that I can handle challenging situations calmly and professionally. In my free time, I enjoy staying active, exploring new places, and learning more about healthcare practices to further develop my skills. I also enjoy reading and spending time with family and friends, which helps me maintain a balanced and positive mindset. I have a strong background in providing complex care and supporting individuals with challenging behaviors. My training and experience in areas such as complex bowel care, PEG feeding, medication administration, and behavior management allow me to handle a wide range of care needs confidently and professionally. I am highly reliable, patient, and compassionate, with a strong ability to build trust and create a safe, comfortable environment for clients. My attention to detail and ability to remain calm under pressure ensure that I can respond effectively to emergencies and changing care needs. I am also committed to ongoing learning and professional development, which helps me stay up to date with best practices in the disability and healthcare sectors. My goal is to provide high-quality, person-centered care that promotes dignity, independence, and well-being for all clients.
