Cecilia Aremu

Experienced Senior Care Assistant with experience in residential, dementia and domiciliary care. I am confident leading shifts, administering medication, completing care records and responding to changes in residents' health. I work well with nurses, GPs, district nurses, families and other healthcare professionals, and I always aim to provide safe, respectful and person-centred care. I currently work as bank staff at The Bridge Care Home in Dartford.
