Carer - The Old Vicarage Residential Care Home - Plymouth
(2024-09)
In my experience with care work, I focused on providing personal care that was tailored to each individual's needs, ensuring that I always treated them with the utmost respect and dignity. I also gained a certificate in manual handling that I can therefore assist with tasks such as hoisting and using a standaid, which allowed individuals to move safely and comfortably while maintaining their independence. Rolling patients to ensure their comfort and prevent pressure sores was also a crucial part of my role, as it directly impacted their well-being.
I took pride in supporting them in their daily activities, encouraging them to do as much as they could for themselves, which not only helped boost their confidence but also fostered a sense of autonomy. Throughout my time in this role, I always aimed to treat those in my care as if they were my own family, always making sure they were fed and had plenty of fluids as well as building trusting relationships and creating a warm, supportive environment where they felt valued and respected.
