About


My drive to become a Social Carer is deeply personal, inspired by caring for my grandmother with Alzheimer's and dementia. This experience taught me the profound impact of empathy and personalized care on improving life quality for those with such conditions. Coupled with my engineering background, I've developed a unique skill set ideal for social care, including problem-solving, critical thinking, and innovation. This blend of personal empathy and professional skills makes me confident in my ability to provide exceptional care. My firsthand experience with my grandmother not only instilled in me the patience and understanding necessary for this role but also a commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of those I care for. I believe this combination of qualities positions me well to excel as a Social Carer, ready to contribute positively to individuals and their families. Central to my life is a genuine passion for connecting with others and fostering meaningful relationships. This drive, deeply rooted in personal experiences of caregiving, extends to my love for teamwork and collaboration, especially evident in my engineering studies. I thrive in social settings, effortlessly making new friends and cherishing the bonds formed through shared adventures outdoors, creative pursuits like photography, and community volunteering. My outgoing personality and friendly demeanor not only enrich my social circle but also enhance my ability to work effectively in diverse teams. These experiences have instilled in me a profound appreciation for the power of community and the joy found in every new connection. While I've shared insights into my passions, skills, and hobbies, there's more to my story. An aspect of my personality that I hold dear is my resilience and adaptability. Life has presented its set of challenges, especially during my time caring for my grandmother and balancing my studies . These experiences taught me the importance of perseverance, flexibility, and the ability to find creative solutions under pressure. I also have a keen interest in technology and its application to solve real-world problems, particularly in healthcare and social services. This interest has led me to explore coding and software development, skills I'm keen on developing further. My ultimate goal is to blend my technical skills with my passion for social care, creating innovative solutions that enhance the quality and accessibility of care for those in need. In addition, I have a multicultural background that has endowed me with a deep appreciation for diverse perspectives and the ability to connect with people from various walks of life. This diversity of experience has enriched my understanding of the world and fostered a strong sense of empathy and inclusivity in my approach to both personal and professional relationships.

Gaurav is very pleasant, works hard with initiative and has helped not only with keeping the house tidy but with setting up electronic devices which I’m too old to deal with. He has also taken me out and helped with my mobility. He is a great conversationalist and my life has improved enormously since he’s been my support worker. I wholeheartedly recommend Gaurav as a support worker.
