About Me and My Experience

Hi! I have been working in the care industry for the last 15 years. I have worked in a day centre for the elderly for the past 2 years and have enjoyed this immensely, however now I want to get back into what I love and that is homecare. I started working as a carer 15 years ago as a home care assistant providing personal care. I have many years experience in working with people with Alzheimer's disease, Dementia, Parkinson's disease, mobility problems and depression. I like to help others because I find this very rewarding. I have NVQ Level 3 in Health and Social Care, medication training, manual handling, first aid, food hygiene and SOVA. I am CRB checked. I am a non smoker and have a full driver's licence.
