 DL14 6FH 51319 In my younger years, I was an education welfare officer for the local authority. I took voluntary redundancy after 20 years and started running my own business, as well as volunteering as an art therapist at Teesside Hospice. I then went to Australia for 5 years, where I helped a friend with Quadriplegia achieve his objectives and travel around Europe. I came back to the UK in April 2021 and took up a position as a live-in carer in Wiltshire for 18months. After this I became a Personal Assistant and carer for a paraplegic gentleman in Northampton. I'm trained in manual evacuation, sterile changing of dressings, care of suprapubic and lifting and handling. I would now prefer to work within a couple of hours' drive from home in Durham or York. Any client will find me friendly, reliable, honest, and caring. My aim is to care for a person in the same way I would like to be cared for when it's my turn. I have a holistic approach to my work. I can cook meals from around the world but also very happy and able to turn out simple tasty British cuisine. I have my own car and a clean driving licence. My enhanced DBS is up to date, too. My previous clients and their families would be happy to provide references, as would my previous employers. I'm very happy to be considered for emergency relief work if needed. 1 1 {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":false,"field_care_type_first":"","field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":false,"field_care_type_second":"","field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":false,"field_care_type_third":"","field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":false,"field_care_type_fourth":"","field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":false,"field_care_type_fifth":"","field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":false,"field_care_type_sixth":"","field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":false,"field_care_type_seven":""}

 DH3 3DW 153985 As an experienced Healthcare Support Worker proficient in directing high-quality and efficient client care I possess a unique set of qualities and skills that enable me to provide exceptional care to those in need. Genuinely, I care about the well-being and happiness of the individuals I care for. I have a deep understanding of their emotions, challenges, and needs, and I am able to connect with them on a compassionate level. This empathy allows me to provide the emotional support they require, creating a safe and nurturing environment. I understand that everyone's journey and progress are different. I exercise patience when working with individuals, respecting their pace and providing support while allowing them to maintain their independence and dignity. I listen attentively to their concerns, needs, and desires, ensuring that their voices are heard and understood. Also, I am dedicated to providing consistent and reliable care to those who rely on me. I understand the importance of being dependable and showing up when needed. I am committed to establishing trust and building strong relationships with those in my care, ensuring that they feel confident and secure in my assistance. Every person is unique, and their care needs may change over time. I am adaptable and flexible, ready to adjust and accommodate evolving circumstances. I am open to new ideas and willing to modify my approach to meet the specific requirements and preferences of each individual I care for. Effective communication is vital in caregiving. I engage in open and respectful communication with individuals, their families, and healthcare professionals involved in their care. I actively listen, ask questions, and provide information in a clear and understandable manner. I am also skilled at collaborating as part of a caregiving team, recognizing the value of cooperation and teamwork in providing comprehensive care. I am committed to continuous learning and professional growth in the field of caregiving. I stay updated on the latest information, techniques, and best practices to ensure that I deliver the highest quality of care possible. I seek out training opportunities and engage in self-reflection to enhance my skills and knowledge. I am currently working in a supported living facility for clients with learning disabilities, autism and mental health conditions, I am currently working 4 nights per week this is on a rota basic and then 4 nights off. I deliver all forms of personal care and I have experience of working with electric hoists, standing aids and sliding sheets. I am in the process of completing classroom based learning for medication awareness and other trainings. When working with clients I enjoy cooking a well balanced meal plan as I recognise how important diet is to my clients and I like to get them involved where possible. I am happy to work with male and female clients. 1 1 {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":true,"field_care_type_first":"1, 4","field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":true,"field_care_type_second":"1, 4","field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":true,"field_care_type_third":"1, 4","field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":true,"field_care_type_fourth":"1, 4","field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":true,"field_care_type_fifth":"1, 4","field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":true,"field_care_type_sixth":"1, 4","field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":true,"field_care_type_seven":"1, 4"}

 TS13 4LF 6485 I HAVE HAD BOTH OF THE COVID VACCINE JABS Available 1st - 8th sept 23rd sept onwards. Hi i'm Trish .. I am 53 years old. I have been working as a carer now for 34 years... I have worked in a varied selection of settings, nursing homes, residential homes and hospitals. I have been working as a live-in carer again now for nearly 5 years. In all honesty I prefer it. It is more personal, less stressful and I can give attention to one person instead of trying to spread myself out between a lot of people.... I keep all of my training up to date, most of which I pay for myself. I work mainly with dementia, all stages, MS, ME, COPD, and also palliative / end of life care. I am trained in using majority of lifting devices and stand assistance equipment. I have 2 cats and a border collie so I am an animal lover. I enjoy walking and going to the cinema and I love going to the lakes with my partner of 8 years. I do drive and have my own car, with business insurance. I have my own pa insurance also. My DBS is on the update service and can viewed if needed. I don't mind traveling for work, I cover Norfolk, Suffolk, West and North Yorkshire, , Wales and some parts of surrey, also Cambridgeshire as I have family there. I do charge mileage capped at £50 as it is often a long way for me to drive, often having to drive between 3 and 8 hours, to get to a client. I do have family outside Weymouth, Cambridgeshire and in wales so i can work nationwide. I like to drive so distance is never an idsue. My partner lives in Keighley so I can easily work that area. 1 1 {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":true,"field_care_type_first":"1, 4, 5, 3","field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":true,"field_care_type_second":"1, 4, 5, 3","field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":true,"field_care_type_third":"1, 4, 5","field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":true,"field_care_type_fourth":"1, 4, 5, 3","field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":true,"field_care_type_fifth":"1, 4, 5, 3","field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":true,"field_care_type_sixth":"1, 4, 5, 3","field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":true,"field_care_type_seven":"1, 4, 5, 3"}

 DL1 4WJ 237283 I have worked for over 17years in Child, Health and Social care and SEN roles after completing my degree in Teesside university. I am currently pursuing a Post Graduate Diploma in Psychology. I am a sociable and friendly person, and although my life may appear to be very busy, I manage my time effectively and I am very organised. I have a particular passion for caring and like to use my knowledge and expertise from being in the Care and Education industry to support individuals with respect and dignity. I have a wide range of experience supporting age categories from 3 months up to the elderly care. I have been a lecturer for the past seven years planning and delivering lessons, working across the Childcare and Healthcare department to support students to achieve their full potential and move on into employment. I have delivered care in a compassionate and a person centred way by supporting clients with personal care, shopping and cooking. Occasionally acting as an advocate for clients who may have communication difficulty to ensure that their needs are met. I have a vast amount of experience in all stages of dementia having worked in various care homes supporting elderly residents living with dementia. I have also supported young people and adults with learning disabilities towards independence, choice and inclusion to enable them to live a fulfilled life within the community. Having recently completed Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies, I have developed skills in social relationships and social intelligence and empathy. All of my training is currently up to date, such as Safeguarding, Manual Moving and Handling, Administering Medication, Basic Life Support, Dementia care, Parkinson's and various others. My hobbies are shopping, cooking, listening to music and dancing. I also love watching costume and period dramas, athletics, football and Formula 1(F1). I am very much open-minded, flexible and adaptable to different situations and circumstances. I am always keen to learn new skills and take further training and courses for my continuing professional development but more importantly, to help my service user. Aside from the above skills and experience, I can offer companionship, PA and admin work. I can also work nights or twilight shifts starting late. 1 1 {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":false,"field_care_type_first":"","field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":true,"field_care_type_second":"4, 5, 3","field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":true,"field_care_type_third":"4, 5, 3","field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":true,"field_care_type_fourth":"4, 5, 3","field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":true,"field_care_type_fifth":"4, 5, 3","field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":false,"field_care_type_sixth":"","field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":false,"field_care_type_seven":""}

 TS12 2HZ 1593 I have a plethora of experience and qualifications that I have acquired in my working capacity are many and vast, from Diploma NVQ Level 2 and Level 3 in health and social care. I am fully self employed, I have my own independent insurance as well as Curam insurance. My DBS is on the online service and any documentation relating to my work is available for any employer wishing to see, please feel free to ask for your own peace of mind and assurance, though Curam are fabulous at updating and checking all their care support staffs records, I can totally relate and understand the relevance of getting the correct care for the person requiring care, so please feel free to ask me any relevant questions you may have, happy to oblige. Interests and hobbies, I like places of history and art, i like music festivals and events and I have incorporated these in my previous job roles as well, taking people I support to local events of interest. Family play a big role in my life and in working capacity people you support are like a second working family as you are involved with all aspects of their life and you have to work to ethics and certain standards and values as we all do in our family life. I do a lot of walking and i am quiet lucky to have lots of interesting places to explore right here on my own doorstep, walking to the people I have supported in the past keeps them active but also opens up a sense of achievement and places of interest as well. I do exercise have some gym equipment at home so I do the odd hour when I can. I work with computers as I do a lot of my training online but it also a social network of communication between myself family and friends, I believe more people should be encouraged and supported to try the internet in 1 format or another as there are lots of programs out there to support and encourage people to try new things and make it fun and interesting. When not working in support I do the odd bit of volunteer work for a local place of art and interest as a custodian which i highly enjoy. To wind down after work i tend to do read or complete puzzles or the odd game online to keep my brain active. Why I do my job.. I have been a mum to Three now very grown up children and Two of which have medical problems, One as they got older grew out of the problems they had as they matured and got past the teenage phase, but my son was born with several problematic issues so I was a mum and carer for my son which guided me to succeed in the career I now choose to do in support work for others. I think it brings another dimension and element to the work I do as I have been in some situations that people I support family have been in for example so i can empathize with people, I have not just chose a career it chose me when I had to raise my son and I think between us we did good as he went to main stream school, then college and then did Two years at university and is now a father to his own family and I think that one of the main reasons I do care I like to see results, to make a difference in someone's life and making a real change to the lives of the people I provide support and care for as well as their community of friends family and carers who work with each individual as a team. The people you then support lead fuller and more compassionate life and the job you work is always rewarding, the professional relationships we build and form with people we support instils a sense of personal achievement for both worker and person in support by raising their morale and helping them maintain independence, I consider the work I do as important and support worker for me is more than just a job, I have learnt so much about myself and in all different areas of the work I do and the training I complete, but also from the people I work with and the people I work for. Being in support work opens your eyes and provides me with a chance to work with a plethora of interesting complex people. WHAT MAKES ME A GOOD SUPPORT WORKER So what does makes a good support worker? There are many personal and professional attributes which contribute to making a good Support Worker, but most of all the ability to support someone to exercise control of the following aspects of their lives. On a professional basis, you have to be someone who understand the value and importance of the principles of continuing professional development and of learning and methods of self-evaluation different types of communication and positive working approaches the difference between work relationships and personal relationships and how work relationships can be maintained professionally, to employ person centred approaches to the work you do and I work on a needs led basis a lot of the time. A good support worker empowers each person they support to become more independent and involved in their local community, and have a sense of achievement in all they do. {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":"0","field_care_type_first":null,"field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":"0","field_care_type_second":null,"field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":"0","field_care_type_third":null,"field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":"0","field_care_type_fourth":null,"field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":"0","field_care_type_fifth":null,"field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":"0","field_care_type_sixth":null,"field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":"0","field_care_type_seven":null}
