I have 8 years of professional care experience working in different care settings. I have worked in residential homes, supported living and private homes supporting people with learning disability, spinal injury, stroke, alzheimer’s and parkinsons disease.

I have done training in manual handling, catheter care, stoma bag care, food & hygiene, fire training and medication administration. I believe in applying a person-centred approach in care to ensure people’s values, social circumstances, desires and lifestyle choices are met. I appreciate different cultures and I am keen to learn and try new things before dismissing them.
I am an effective communicator both in written form and orally. I am laid back, very open minded, patient and understanding individual. I like to keep fit, enjoy dancing, power walks, most music and film genres. I am not a fan of coffee - I mainly drink decaf tea and water. Whilst I am not well travelled, I enjoy trying foods from different countries.
