I would make a fabulous social carer because I love helping people! Throughout my life, I have volunteered for many organisations to support my community in any way I can. I have skills in many areas such as domestic work, taking care of people (regardless of their age), cooking, communicating and mostly I am a compassionate individual. I am a current volunteer for Elders Rights Advocacy (ERA), where my role entails visiting socially isolated elderly people and interacting with them through relaxed conversations and/or taking a walk or going on an outing. My experience with ERA and as a paramedic student has provided me with a strong understanding of working with the elderly and individuals with diverse backgrounds/cultures. ^& ^&- Initially, I'll seek out what the individual is interested in or hoping to learn, this will allow me to see which one of the skills or hobbies they most likely would be interested in me to share. - Depending on each individual, I'll identify what kind of teaching/sharing style I should use (e.g. difference in communication between children vs elderly). - Demonstrate and narrate; show what I am doing whilst explaining - Allow them to demonstrate this themself, whilst ensuring questions are welcomed ^&
