"I began my career in 2008 as a student and completed a placement in a residential home after qualifying for NVQ Level 2 in Health and Social Care. I was offered a position in the same home, where I worked for two years, and subsequently worked as a live-in carer for another two years. Following this, I spent four years in the community caring for clients with autism and spinal injuries. I joined NHSP in 2017 after qualifying with Level 3 in Health and Social Care, where I work across various wards, including Dementia, stroke, and spinal care. In all these wards, I support patients with their daily needs, promoting independence, respecting their values, and fostering dignity and diversity. My responsibilities include managing commodes, bedpans, catheters, stoma bags, pressure sore areas, blood pressure observations, blood sugar levels, and PEG feeding. I also worked in the NHS Trust for 11 months before resigning to remain up to date with NHSP banking. I enjoy communicating with patients, creating activities, and supporting them in achieving their goals."

"Hello! My name is Kutlwano. I have 5 years of experience working in the care industry in the UK, and I have developed a compassionate approach. I work hard to get to know my clients, and I enjoy listening to older people. I have worked with individuals with dementia for a long time, encouraging them to join social groups and get involved in community activities. I assist them with personal care, such as bathing, grooming, and dressing, support continence, and help with mobility using hoists, wheelchairs, and standing aids. I also assist with medication administration and prompting, shopping, cooking, and household chores. Additionally, I have worked with individuals with mental health issues and autism, supporting them with daily life activities, providing companionship, and ensuring their safety. Recently, I have been providing care for clients with spinal injuries, closely monitoring for signs and symptoms of autonomic dysreflexia and implementing appropriate interventions promptly. I enjoy gardening, particularly growing vegetables and flowers. I also like sports and am a fan of Manchester City, and I enjoy word searches. I am always willing and keen to learn new skills to care for new clients. I am currently looking for live-in clients on a 2-week on, 2-week off rotation, and during my 2 weeks off, I am looking for waking nights. When travelling to clients for live-in care, I prefer to have my clients cover one-way travelling expenses. I am happy to work public holidays at a rate of time and a half. Please get in touch if you think I can help."
