Yrs Experience

I'm friendly and have a caring approach, with the ability to relate to people from a variety of backgrounds. I possess patience and a good sense of humour, which are both vitally important as a carer. Regardless of the situation with my clients, I can feel at ease knowing that the individuals I deal with might feel anxious, afraid, embarrassed, or distressed, either about their own health or the health of someone they care for. Respect, sensitivity, and empathy are very important to me, as I am people-oriented. I listen carefully and am able to answer questions, particularly from my clients. I can discuss options and provide suggestions with understanding and knowledge. Clear communication is also at the heart of effective teamwork, especially when it comes to my clients, their loved ones, and necessary professionals. Gathering plenty of information, making sense of it, and spotting small signs of health changes or dangers ahead of time are crucial. All these contribute significantly to the lives of my patients. Good communication enables me to recognise when a client is at risk or needs help. Being attentive and observant not only makes my job easier but also minimises accidents as well as ensures safety.

I have worked in every sector of health care from hospital to care homes and individual homes. Assist/administering of medication to client, preparing food, bathing and clothing, assist in moving them, shopping, arranging appointments, accompany to appointment and doctor's visits and jotting everyday observations in the daily care record and Practice universal precautions. Etc.
