I have worked within the care industry for most of my life starting out by looking after an elderly parent. I have a diploma Level 2 in Health and Social Care and have worked in Social Services, nursing homes and hospitals. My training incorporated courses in Manual Handling, Dementia, First Aid, Food Hygiene and Personal Care and I feel fully equipped to meet any challenges. I am looking for local work and am currently working with an elderly person suffering with dementia. I have space within my day to accept another client working Monday - Friday 9-5 but this could be negotiable. I enjoy my work and building new relationships and trust in order to maximise quality of life. I have a cheerful disposition which I consider to be one of the most important values within the nursing profession. Having worked for a Care Agency, I am very much aware of clients' preferences for continuity and seeing the same face each day.
