BH2 6PF 291854 My name is Sergiy. I am an experienced care/support worker working in the sector since 2022.

My background being working in the restaurant in the front of the house however, I have a good cooking skills due to be working in the kitchen as well. The customer service always being on my first place and looking after the people. I have experience of recovering my father after the stroke. I made a stroke rehabilitation plan for my father which was involved physical activities, motor-skill exercices, mobility training, constraint-induced therapy (restrained therapy), range of motion therapy. It helped him to recovered after hemorrhagic stroke. Doctors told to my mother he will be not able to get to the bathroom. Right now on he does 15k steps per day + 4 hours different kind of exercises per day on daily rutine. I am currently working as a support worker, supporting people who have learning disabilities and mental health concerns. I am passionate about enabling my clients to live life to the fullest and being as independent as their condition allows. This role allows me to work with people who require very little support day to day, such as finances and shopping as well as people who require full 24-hour packages with two support staff. Throughout my varied career, I have completed care-related NVQ level 3 qualifications and I have become competent and confident in the following skills: -Palliative care -Medication administration -Accurate record -Keeping and auditing of documentation -Writing and reviewing care plans as part of a multidisciplinary team I have been trained for individual clients by a district nurse for: - Stoma care; - Hoisting; - Soft& bite -sized food preparations; - Swimming for special needs people. I have my own car which has business insurance allowing me to take clients out if they do not have access to their own transport. My car has enough space for a manual wheelchair if required. This could be useful if the client would like to go shopping, do any activities or want to access outdoor spaces for exercise in the fresh air. I consider myself to be a very sociable and freindly person and really like to support different individuals. I love to cook and I eat a well-balanced diet myself. I would be more than happy to help with health cooking for anyone who requires this assistance. I am passionate about my job and how I can have a positive impact on other people's lives. I am a very trustworthy and reliable person. The rates I have stated are subject to change based on individual client circumstances. Please get in touch if you need any kind of care or support.

My passion is to get out there and make a difference to someone's life, by providing a proper dignified care. My aim is to get to know the person I will be supporting to make sure I meet their needs, as well communication is the key to get to understand the needs of the person. I'm flexible on my working day or night shifts or sleep ins. My hobbies are cooking, walking, ,gardening and travelling. The most important part as a carer is to listen and understand the needs of the person, as much as communicating with the family, also to respect the privacy, dignity and choices and treat every individuals differently by respecting their values. Its always my pleasure to see changes when I'm providing care to individuals as that gives me strength and hope that anything is possible. I always encourage the person I'm helping to live independently as much as they can by supporting them to achieve that. I happy to travel for live in jobs within 100 miles radius as long as traveling expenses are covered 1 way by my clients. For live in clients my rates may increase or decrease depending on the clients condition and what is required of me. I am happy to care for couples my live in rate would be increased by 20%. For day and night shifts I am looking for regular clients of 6/12 hour shifts, unfortunately I would be unable to deliver hourly visits at this time. Looking forward to working with you and I hope my profile will attract someone out there.

I love engaging with the elderly and listening to all their life stories they have such alot of wisdom to share. I like practicing Reiki Healing, I also like arts and crafts, cooking, and gardening.

PO18 8QT 47831 I have been a Healthcare Assistant with an NHS Trust for the 17 years, both within Psychiatric Intensive Care, Forensic and Dementia Assessment Units, as well as providing cover for Residential support and Adult Acute wards. Within this time, I have dealt with many aspects of challenging behaviour and have been privileged to be involved with many service user's paths to recovery. I have looked after people with substance abuse issues and clients with Schizophrenia, depression and many other mental health diagnoses. My most recent position, working with acute dementia patients has been by far the most rewarding of my time in mental health care and has given me a greater knowledge base in physical care. I have 1 year's experience in live-in home care, during which, I had extensive experience in dealing with palliative care. During my time working for the Trust, I have been part of the team which was key in implementing the Care Zoning Process which was introduced Trust-wide before being presented in America, and have developed an interest in therapeutic interventions, such as helping clients achieve an understanding of their daily living skills, an understanding of a healthy diet, and helping them to recognise and develop any skills or interests they have beyond this. It's important to me that a service user recognise they have an identity that surpasses the sum of their mental or physical health diagnosis and helping them to embrace this can have a positive impact on helping them to achieve and maintain social inclusion. I consider myself a valued member of the team and, have always been able to slot in well on all the wards I have worked on, and whilst I have no desire to embark on my nursing training, I consider the post of Healthcare worker a valuable position in it’s own right. My strengths in working with one-to-one care, my close collaborations with the Occupational Therapy Department, and my ability to think on my feet, are traits that I am well known for. I have a natural passion for care, am compassionate toward my clients and have a calming personality for managing a client's agitation or anxiety. My experience, over the years, has led me to recognise the Live-in Care would be an ideal progression in which to fully implement the skills I have developed during my time working in the NHS. Having a close-knit family myself, I also recognise the value of home care in enabling the client to preserve the home life they richly deserve rather than having to face the upheaval of a residential home or long term hospital admission. Outside of work I have an avid interest in travel. I am an independent backpacker and try to travel at least once a year, as I enjoy experiencing the culture and often find that travelling 'off the beaten track' introduces basic challenges and experiences that a package holiday often will not. I feel that getting back to basics often provides me with a healthy and liberating balance away from work. I also occasionally work as a portrait artist but have not to date pursued this fully as I find my work in care far more rewarding, but still enjoy my creative pursuits on a personal level. I hope this statement gives an idea of both myself as a carer and who I am on a personal level, and I would be more than happy to expand on this further if I am considered as a candidate for this position. Thank you for taking the time to read this, Karen {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":false,"field_care_type_first":"","field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":false,"field_care_type_second":"","field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":false,"field_care_type_third":"","field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":false,"field_care_type_fourth":"","field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":false,"field_care_type_fifth":"","field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":false,"field_care_type_sixth":"","field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":false,"field_care_type_seven":""}

PO7 8JE 258762 Hello, I'm Amanda. Over the past three years I've worked as a live-in Carer in a number of placements in the UK, caring for people with complex conditions including Stroke, Dementia, Parkinson's Disease, Epilepsy, Spinal injury, Incontinence, and Clinical Deafness. I also assisted in a dual-carer placement with end-of-life care of a gentleman before he sadly passed away at home. Before being a Carer I was a Yoga and Pilates practitioner, helping clients individually, many of whom were over 70 and suffering with pain or reduced mobility due to trauma or simple wear and tear on the joints. I've also worked with children and young adults, including a young woman who was a wheelchair user. As a Carer, I plan to continue with live-in care, and look forward to travelling to different parts of the UK for work. I can assist with personal care, medication, hygiene, food preparation, and household administration. I am patient, empathetic, and a good listener, and comfortable in the role of companion. Where possible, I like to encourage my clients to stay active, even just a short walk in the garden, as I believe in the power of movement and nature. I also believe in the power of humour and encourage this where I can. I would love to hear from you. Please get in touch if you feel I could help. 0 0 {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":true,"field_care_type_first":"3","field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":true,"field_care_type_second":"3","field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":true,"field_care_type_third":"3","field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":true,"field_care_type_fourth":"3","field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":true,"field_care_type_fifth":"3","field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":true,"field_care_type_sixth":"3","field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":true,"field_care_type_seven":"3"}
