Understanding dementia with alzheimer's society

 RH9 8HX 54766 I have been in care work for 8 years in both residential home and private homes in a family setting. I have gained varied experience in that time supporting vulnerable young adults and elderly people in their homes. I was inspired to do such work as a consequence of helping to care for my autistic sister and helping care for my disabled brother in law. I care deeply about the work that I do and gain great job satisfaction from helping and improving the quality of life of the people that I care for. I am reliable ensuring that what needs to be done is done and is done to a high standard. I am empathetic, patient and compassionate.

I am happy to consider live-in placements of any length, anywhere in the country. I do not charge travel expenses. --- I am a Scottish lady with a Law degree who decided to go into care and housekeeping. I will be starting medical school in St Andrews on the 2nd of September this year. I have been a carer since late 2021, undergoing full residential training with a live-in agency. In my time with the agency I gained experience working with MND, learning disabilities, Parkinsons, stroke, catheter care and late-stage dementia, among others. In May 2022 my friend had a stroke and I was invited by her family to move in and help her to recover. I lived with her as a carer and a friend until June 2023 when she sadly passed away. Since my friend's passing I have worked with a variety of clients through Curam, as well as with a private client from October until March this year. Up to this point my references have been uniformly positive. I have two 'Excellent' recommendations on Curam. I would describe myself as independent, conscientious and an organiser. If your environment is very cluttered or disorganised, this would need to be sorted out before I can start working with you. I have my own car and am happy to travel anywhere in the country for the right position. I do not charge clients for travel to or from placements. I have a full driving licence (manual and automatic) and am insured to take clients in my car. Please be aware that I ask clients to settle their invoices before work begins. Because of a difficult experience in the past, I will not travel to you until this has been done. These funds are held safely by Curam until after the end of the work period and will be refunded if for any reason the work is not completed. 1 2 {"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"}

 CR3 5TH 9205 Hi my name Francis but I like to go by Frank. I have over 14 years experience in the care industry, I’ve worked with many different vulnerable age groups from children to adults with varied needs and find this work very rewarding. I have cared for female and male clients. I have business insurance for my car so can take clients out for for the day. I’m friendly, caring and compassionate about supporting others around me that might need help. Meeting the needs of others through care and enabling their independence as long as possible keeps me smiling! I have experience in many different areas of care work and would be willing to work with young adults and children as well as older clients. I am experienced and qualified in - catheter care, peg feeding, medication administration via peg, dementia care, moving and handling, general medication administration, health and safety, general care of vulnerable adults and safe guarding. I also have experience in assessing care needs and building care plans. I am very competent in the kitchen and able to cook meals efficiently. Due to health reasons I have been advised by medical professionals not to have the covid 19 vaccines, instead I do lateral flow tests everyday and make sure I wear full ppe when caring for clients. I have a full clear UK driving licence which i have held for over 14 years. I am currently only doing hourly day care. I cannot work weekends due to family commitments. I am willing to travel up to 7 miles for daytime work. I am outgoing, physically fit and enjoy many outdoor activities like fishing, skating, climbing, and just being outside in nature. I have 2 young children who I love to take out and spend time with. Please contact me if you sense I’ve got the skills & qualities of the type of person you need to meet your person centred needs as this is something I highly value, being person centred based on each individual’ needs! 1 1 {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":true,"field_care_type_first":"1","field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":true,"field_care_type_second":"1","field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":true,"field_care_type_third":"1","field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":true,"field_care_type_fourth":"1","field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":true,"field_care_type_fifth":"1","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":""}

Care related NVQ/QCF level 3

 Cr3 7ee 175284 I have worked in Health & Social Care since 2012. During this time I have gained a vast amount of knowledge which made me feel the need to increase my knowledge academically. I then gained a degree in Health & Social Care in which I received a first class honours. I thoroughly enjoy and feel that not only do people with a disability need support, but other people in society also need support and companionship due to different factors in their lives. I enjoy an array of activities and open to learning and experiencing new activities. Life is truly a box of chocolates so and I am open to trying all the flavours. Ultimately, giving my time to people who need and want it is very fulfilling for me, which brings such joy to me knowing that I am putting a genuine smile on someone’s face. I also understand the need to work in a person-centred way to deliver care and support as it is the only way to genuinely put a smile on someone’s face. This is because as a support or care provider you are meeting their needs by providing care and support the way the individual wishes. This way of working has proven to be beneficial to the individuals wellbeing and health outcomes.

 CR51QT 186005 My name is Sarah and I have been a carer for 8 years to people with learning disabilities. I then went on to do my nurse training in mental health and further study in public health nursing. I have decided to become a personal assistant/ carer again as I've realised that I love this type of work most and enjoy making a difference in people's lives. I recently gave up my full time post as a public health nurse to care for my father who had dementia. Unfortunately he passed away due to covid but I actually loved spending this time with him and although this was cut short it has made me understand what I really want to do with my career now and become a carer again. I have gained many skills and knowledge over the past 20 years working with the NHS. My background is mostly working with people in mental health, learning difficulties, and dementia care. I am very hard working and will support anyone as if they are my own family and recognise peoples needs are very unique and tailor my approach to care on a very individual basis. I have two children aged 10 and 14 one of which has a mental health condition. I love to go for long walks, cycle and run. I enjoy travelling when able to and I also like gardening. 0 2 {"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":""}

 RH1 6NT 100545 I have worked as a carer for the last 4 years. I am compassionate, kind and patient and have enjoyed making a positive difference in the lives of the people I have been fortunate to care for. I have worked with people with dementia, anxiety and depression. I understand the importance of listening and working at the pace the individuals are comfortable with, to ensure that all of my engagement is positive and supportive and, most importantly, in the best interests of the client. I enjoy helping clients feel their best, and recognise that it means a great deal to some, especially to promote confidence, which often lessens in later life. I worked with one lady for over two years, through Covid, and liaising closely with her family I helped co-ordinate a small outdoor gathering for her 80th birthday. I helped her with her hair and clothes and provided all of the reassurance she needed to relax and enjoy her day reuniting with close family. She had a wonderful time and the family have expressed their gratitude to me for that special day. This lady I cared for sadly passed away in June last year following ill health and several months in a nursing home. I visited her frequently in her nursing home and spent time with her and her family during the very difficult final days. In addition to being able to provide the varying practical support required such as eating, cooking, personal care, cleaning and administrative support, I also have a full clean driving licence and very much enjoy taking clients out for outings and to meet friends. Providing companionship and helping my clients to enjoy their day to day lives as much as possible is very rewarding. I have had very positive feedback from the families I have supported and I want to build upon that experience in my future roles. I love to read and very much enjoy being out in nature. I like to go on walks with my family and discover new places. Like cooking, would be lovely to get clients involved in it as well. At the minute I am available 9am-11am Monday and Friday, Tuesday -Wednesday most of the day Half day every other Saturday. Can work on Bank Holiday.( time and a half ) Would love to work with more mobile clients as have more experience so feel would be more beneficial to the client. Please do get in touch with me as I would very much like to hear from you. 2 1 {"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":""}
