I have worked within the care sector for 5 years since I left college when I was 18. I started off in domiciliary care and was worked out in the community for 4 years. In this time I have learnt and developed my skills in care from great training and practical learning in different environments. I have had additional training for those with more complex needs such as mental health awareness, dementia training and end of life care. I have taken senior and team leading roles whilst I have been in care and gone on to get my certificate in safe handling of medicines and administration of medication. I also spent some time working as a coordinator for a homecare agency once I had got to know the company to go on to assisting with the planning of visits, safeguarding, and organisation of the setting. This has given me the knowledge and experience to understand how great care is to be practised and given me the inspiration to take my career further within care. I have recently spent some time in a care home setting as a senior and furthered my knowledge within Dementia care.
