Special Needs Care in Sheffield

| I am currently a student at the university of Sheffield, before this I was a support worker for 4 years. I supported adults between 18-60+ with a range of physical and mental disorders. I have experience handling medication, finances, personal care and behaviour management. I have excellent communication skills and I'm very reliable, most importantly I am enthusiastic in my work and really enjoy it.

I have been in childcare for 10 years and have worked with all age groups from 3 months to 16 years. I have gained vital experience doing this. I have been working with children with special needs for the last year and a half at a Respite Centre. I enjoy my time with the children, helping them through their daily routines. I love to see them smile, enjoying the time they spend with me. I find it important to help the families as much as I can because they need time for themselves.

| I am a speech and language therapy student at the University of Sheffield, meaning i have a deep understanding of a range of special needs and communications difficulties. Alongside working with mainstream individuals at an indoor play centre from the age of 14 I have also been volunteering (in my home town) with children with special educational needs in a class room and summer school setting. This day time experience in a SEN care role has been useful but my summer at Elks Camp Moore for special children in new Jersey has given me unbeatable experience with children with SEN. Ranging from ASD to cerebral palsy and dravet syndrome, I worked with individuals with special needs for 1 week 24 hours a day for 10 weeks of my summer in 2018. This was a fantastic experience and has taught me a lot of useful interaction and caring tips for working within the SEN population.
