With a foundation in Mental Health Nursing from the University of Essex, my healthcare journey began with a placement within the East Home Treatment Team in Colchester. In this, I worked alongside a mental health nurse, shadowing crisis interventions and contributing to report-writing, risk assessment, record-keeping, and multi-disciplinary meetings. My deepened interest in mental health care then propelled me to earn a first-class BSc Hons in Psychology with Counselling from The Open University.
Over the past five years, I've committed to supporting individuals with Down Syndrome and Autism, exemplifying creativity, adaptability, and a deep understanding of personalised care. As a motivated and conscientious graduate with strong interpersonal skills, I'm eager to expand into a role that ideally offers post-graduate training, clinical supervision, and the opportunity to make a genuine impact in mental healthcare.
Would you be interested in discussing new opportunities? If so, I'd love to connect!
Whilst studying 'Mental Health Nursing' at the University of Essex (Colchester) in early 2018, I completed a placement with the NHS East Home Treatment Team, who are a team of consultants, mental health nurses, support workers and occupational therapists.
In late 2018 I began work as an agency support worker for Better Healthcare. Better Healthcare Services is a leading Social Care and Healthcare provider whose services encompass many aspects of care ranging from short call visits to 24-hour care, live-in care, and specialist care.
In 2019, whilst working for Better Healthcare, I was asked to start with Dimensions full time as a support worker. Dimensions is an organisation that supports people with learning disabilities, autism, behaviours of distress and those with complex health needs. In particular, the supported living home I work in caters to individuals with autism and down-syndrome.
