About Iris

34 years old
I have been working in care for 8 years, which gave me skills and knowledge to how to provide best care for my clients. I am qualified occupational therapist and my degree gave me a higher level of experience in care. I am looking for extra work to top up my hours. For the past 8 years, I have been working as a health care assistant and have worked closely alongside patients with dementia, neurological conditions, different physical diasbilities and end-of-life care. The years in care taught me to effectively communicate with people of all ages and abilities, as well as how to encourage and support people in tasks that help them be independent. I learned to adapt my communication to support patients with cognitive needs by speaking clearly and not overloading information. I feel responsible and accountable for all aspects of my work including the management of patients in my care. My desire to learn and develop further skills encouraged me to study and finish 3 degrees that includes International economic relations, Public relations and finally Occupational therapy which gives me a sense of purpose and I now consider to be my true vocation.
