"I have worked for over 19 years in Child, Health and Social Care, and SEN roles after completing my degree at Teesside University. I am a sociable and friendly person. I have a particular passion for caring and like to use my knowledge and expertise from the Care and Education industry to support individuals with respect and dignity. I have a wide range of experience supporting age categories from 3 months up to the elderly. I have been a lecturer for the past 10 years, planning and delivering lessons while working across the Childcare and Healthcare department to support students in achieving their full potential and moving on to employment. I have delivered care in a compassionate and person-centred way by assisting clients with personal care, shopping, and cooking. Occasionally, I act as an advocate for clients who may have communication difficulties to ensure that their needs are met. I have extensive experience in all stages of dementia, having worked in various care homes supporting elderly residents living with this condition. I have also supported young people and adults with learning disabilities towards independence, choice, and inclusion, enabling them to live fulfilling lives within the community. Having recently completed a Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies and a Level 2 in Children and Young People’s Mental Health, I have developed skills in social relationships, empathy, and trauma-informed practice. All of my training is currently up to date, including Safeguarding, Manual Moving and Handling, Administering Medication, Basic Life Support, Dementia care, Parkinson's care, and various others. My hobbies include shopping, cooking, listening to music, walking along the riverbank, and dancing. I also love watching costume and period dramas, athletics, football, and Formula 1 (F1). I am very open-minded, flexible, and adaptable to different situations and circumstances. I am always keen to learn new skills and pursue further training and courses for my continuing professional development, but more importantly, to help my service users. Aside from the skills and experience mentioned, I can offer companionship, personal assistant services, and administrative work. I am also available to work nights or twilight shifts starting late."
