Dementia Care Weston-Super-Mare

| I have 30+ years of experience ranging from Autism,Dementia and mental health. I am open to most tasks and have a very flexible approach. I consider myself to be honest,trustworthy,adaptable to change and consiousious.

| I have been working as a healthcare support worker on a surgical ward for the past 2 years. Across those two years I have gained an NVQ level 2 in healthcare though an apprenticeship where I experienced many areas of healthcare and have developed a valuable insight into many different kinds of care including end of life, dementia care, palliative care and general care of the elderly. I have done further learning in areas such as: epilepsy, diabetes, learning disabilities, autism awareness and first aid. I have also gained the NHS care certificate and have completed an advanced DBS check. I am able to offer live in services as well as live out with regular visits whether this be on an adhoc or regular basis. I am able to run errands and complete any day to day activities with/for the individual under may care. My aim as a support worker is to listen to and understand every individual and to be able to fulfill their needs in a way that suits them. I want everyone under my care to feel appreciated and valued.

| I am a assertive and positive professional who is studying a degree in Mental Health Nursing. I have a background in care and have been in care since May 2017. I started off in supported living with people who experience mental health problems and gains skills such as meal preparation, finance handling, personal care, medication training, mobility, activity planning empathy and companionship. I then decided to study a degree in mental health and came across dementia in one of my placements which I find fascinating and rewarding! I want to be able to develop and increase my experience and skill set and believe my skills are needed in the community.

| Hi I have been a carer for over 10 years I have experience in different areas from personal care to end of life, some medical training and experience in working with people with dementia. I tailor each care package carefully to make each visit count where it really matters you to as a family, a client or loved one. If you would like to know more please feel free to send me an email.

| Have worked in residential, nursing and dementia homes. Currently a student at University hoping to finish my bachelor degree in Adult Nursing. Essentially, the skills offered are towards helping another person. Care is done differently depending on needs and preferences of the individual I will be offering them to. All I can say is that I have worked in healthcare for a few good years, I'm confident in my ability to look out and monitor other's health. As a person, I'm easy to get along, and I wouldn't want to toot my own horn, but I dare say I'm a fabulous cook.
