Special Needs Care in West Berkshire

| Hi, my name is Khaley and I am a 30 year old living in Newbury. I have been working in the care sector for the last 10 years. I have worked in a learning disability home for 2.5 years. This gave me the opportunity to work alongside 18-65 year olds. This was such a rewarding job which helped me build confidence by promoting independence and supporting with daily activities and trips. I am currently studying my degree in Health and Social care as I always want to learn new skills and understand my field further. I am reliable and friendly. I have also given specialist nursing care and supported people in the community in their homes.

| As part of my ongoing preparation to become a paramedic, I have spent the last year training and gaining experience working with adults with severe learning and physical disabilities.

I also take great pleasure from building relationships with my clients, creating new experiences and finding creative ways to relate. Recently, I have spent time working in a supported living environment with adults who are severely physically disabled, non verbal and requiring intensive personal care.
