I am an empathetic and dependable Support Worker with several years of practical experience in residential care, supported living, and mental health hospital environments. I am skilled in delivering person-centred care, supporting individuals with complex needs including mental health conditions and dementia. I demonstrate strong communication skills, emotional resilience, and the ability to work effectively in high-pressure situations. I am fully trained in PMVA, safeguarding, and personal care, with a commitment to promoting dignity, independence, and quality of life for every individual I support.
In my current role at Pathfinders Youth Limited, I promote independence and life skills in supported living environments, assist with meal preparation, household chores, and community engagement, and collaborate with families and healthcare teams to deliver tailored care. I maintain clear documentation and uphold safeguarding protocols to ensure safety and dignity.
Previously, as a Therapeutic Care Worker at The Langford Centre, I supported adults with complex mental health conditions in an acute hospital environment, delivering trauma-informed care focused on safety, dignity, and recovery. I utilized PMVA and therapeutic communication techniques to de-escalate incidents and facilitated daily routines adhering to individualised care plans and risk management protocols.
I have also worked as a Healthcare Assistant, supporting patients with mobility, hygiene, and daily routines while maintaining patient privacy and promoting well-being. My experience extends to roles in business performance data analysis and guest relations, where I developed strong analytical and customer service skills.
I am committed to continuous professional development, having completed certifications in PMVA, behaviour understanding, safeguarding, and awareness of alcohol, drugs, and female genital mutilation. I am passionate about providing compassionate care and supporting individuals to live fulfilling lives.
