I am a non-smoker. I consider myself particularly strong in handling multiple tasks and meeting targets, given my ability to prioritise and remain focused on the outcomes of all tasks at hand. I am very comfortable adapting my approach to building relationships with a variety of people, ranging from individual clients to business-level relations. I adore pets of all kinds, with a particular soft spot for dogs and cats. I currently hold NVQ Level 2 and 3 in Health and Social Care. I also possess the following: - Portable DBS on the update service - Business car insurance - A clean car licence with no endorsements or points I have received both Covid vaccinations, which I can prove with my card and passport letter. I can work as part of a team or independently to contribute to the achievement of service objectives and provide a high quality of care. I have experience in the following areas: - Brain Injury - Dementia - Cerebral Palsy - Motor Neurone Disorder - Self-Harm - Challenging Behaviours - Autism - ADHD - Frailty - Mental Health - Personal Care I have driven a minibus, wheelchair-friendly van, and many other vehicles suited to complex care. I hold an up-to-date first aid certificate and training in moving and handling. I have dealt with challenging behaviours across all aspects of complex care, as well as housing needs and budgeting. I provide emotional support to individuals and their families, as well as practical assistance, such as help with household tasks, bills, finances, personal care, and general paperwork. I support and monitor healthcare needs, including administering medication and temperature checks. I have completed care plans that involve physiotherapy and hydrotherapy, alongside everyday activities. I encourage support towards hobbies and interests. I assist in learning new skills or gaining employment, teaching life skills such as budgeting and paying bills. I help with everyday tasks, including meal preparation, writing shopping lists, going shopping, and maintaining housing tenancies. I facilitate access to community facilities and inclusion in community groups. I understand communication needs and adapt communication to each individual, considering sounds, tones, and body language. I work collaboratively with other professionals, such as doctors, therapists, solicitors, and social workers, to ensure consistency of support. I assess individuals' needs and develop focused support plans. As both a role model and companion, I strive to uncover shared interests, such as hobbies and outings. I act as a key worker for named clients, regularly reviewing their progress, setting and monitoring targets, and helping them acquire daily living skills. I develop guidelines as a key worker for individuals. I support clients in becoming involved in the development and review of their support plans, encouraging them to take advantage of opportunities to be consulted and engaged in matters relating to their management or other relevant issues. I encourage and support service users to participate actively in community activities. I conduct client reviews through support plans and risk assessments. I assist clients in maintaining their homes, even during periods of instability, and liaise with other agencies to help ensure this happens. After 18:00, I charge £30.00 per hour due to unsociable hours. (For bank holidays, festive holidays, and weekends, my fee is £50.00 per hour, and I am only available if I do not have family commitments.)
