I am dedicated and compassionate Support Worker and Care Assistant with over 12 years’ experience providing high-quality, person-centred care to elderly and adult service users in residential, domiciliary, and community settings. Skilled in supporting individuals with a wide range of needs, including dementia, physical disabilities, chronic health conditions, and palliative care, always promoting dignity, independence, and choice. Across senior support roles, experienced in mentoring junior staff, coordinating care plans, and contributing to safe, well-organised care environments that comply with health and social care standards and safeguarding practices
Throughout a long career in care, consistently built trusting, professional relationships with service users, families, and multidisciplinary teams through excellent communication, empathy, and reliability. Confident in delivering all aspects of daily living support, such as personal care, mobility assistance, medication prompting or administration where trained and authorised nutrition and hydration support, and accurate record-keeping and documentation. Calm and resilient under pressure, able to respond sensitively to challenging behaviour, cognitive decline, or end-of-life situations while maintaining a reassuring presence and advocating for each person’s preferences and best interests.
In senior and key worker positions, contributed to care planning and risk assessments, updated daily notes, reported changes in condition promptly, and supported the induction and training of new team members. Comfortable working both independently during lone-working community visits and collaboratively as part of a multidisciplinary team alongside nurses, social workers, therapists, and family carers. Flexible and organised, able to manage complex caseloads, rotating shifts, and varied environments while maintaining consistently high standards of professional conduct, confidentiality, and infection prevention and control
Highly motivated to continue developing knowledge in areas such as dementia care, mental health, learning disabilities, and positive behaviour support to better meet the diverse needs of adults and older people. Passionate about upholding person-centred values, equality, respect, and inclusion, and committed to enabling people to live safely and as independently as possible in their own homes or within care settings. Seeking a Support Worker/Care Assistant position where extensive hands-on experience, strong work ethic, and leadership capabilities can contribute to a caring, forward-thinking organisation that prioritises quality of life and meaningful outcomes for service users.
