I enjoy the role as I like to be able to make a difference to people’s lives and provide an excellent standard of care to all my clients. I have worked very well with dementia clients by observing and assessing where I can make things easier in the home for them so that they can continue to be as independent as possible but still with guidance when needed. I fully encourage independence in the home if I think a client has the capacity to do so. My preparation and cooking of meals is excellent as I can easily adapt to different dietary requirements. I am myself Gluten free and Soya free so my knowledge and understanding of this is very vast. I am able to communicate well with clients and form a sustainable bond with them. Being a great carer is understanding individual needs, assisting their daily routine but ensuring they have choices and care plans are person centred and allows input from the client as to how they would like their daily needs met. My experience enables me to recognise when clients are unwell, anxious, low in themselves or having a down day. My own son suffers with severe anxieties so I have some excellent strategies that I can transfer to provide the client with a calm environment. I will encourage social interaction if this is what the client requests - I would source local clubs, groups, day centres, meetings and arrange joining and transport for the client. I have excellent communication skills and can liaise well with medical/healthcare professionals on behalf of the client. I am always happy to learn new skills and will accommodate both male and female clients plus couples (couples rate would be slightly higher) and I love pets and have no pet allergies. I hope you’ve enjoyed reading my personal statement and I very much hope to be your new carer.
