John Vianney

With extensive experience as a Nursing Assistant, Care Assistant, and Support Worker, I have delivered high-quality, person-centred care across nursing homes, care homes, residential settings, and in the community. I am particularly skilled in supporting adults and children in supported living accommodation and their own homes, as well as asylum seekers and individuals transitioning through housing placements both in and out of care. My career has focused on promoting independence, dignity, and safety for service users across all age groups, including those with complex physical, emotional, and cognitive needs.

I have provided dedicated support to individuals with dyspraxia, dysphagia, traumatic brain injuries, and physical disabilities—applying therapeutic techniques, health monitoring (including pulse, blood pressure, oxygen saturation), and assisting with daily living and personal care in line with detailed care plans and risk assessments. I am trained in phlebotomy and venipuncture, which enhances the level of clinical support I can provide. I bring a deep understanding of the role and responsibilities of a Living Support Worker, including the importance of responding professionally and compassionately to the needs of people with disabilities within their homes and in the community.

I operate in alignment with the company's philosophy and policies, always working with kindness and respect for everyone I encounter. I am also committed to contributing positively to a caring, inclusive, and supportive work culture, valuing collaboration and listening to colleagues. I have experience overseeing and updating care files, ensuring compliance with professional standards, participating in reviews of care plans, risk assessment, ofsted and CQC inspections to services.

I exercise sound judgment in escalating issues, communicate promptly and accurately with management, and represent the organization professionally in meetings, reviews, and when liaising with families and professionals. I am vigilant in safeguarding matters, reporting concerns without delay and maintaining strict confidentiality. Service user centred care is central to my approach.

I develop strong, respectful relationships to ensure individual needs, such as cultural background, gender, age, and interests are met. I monitor the effectiveness of care, maintain comprehensive records, and collaborate with external professionals to deliver holistic support. I have supported community access and transportation for service users and continuously adapt my support based on individual goals and well-being.

I am also a driver with access to my own car (business insurance for work) and hold a clean driving license, which enables me to travel between service users and support them actively in the community. Currently, I am sponsored by my employer and working in London. However, my family is based in Newcastle, and I am now seeking a full-time role with sponsorship transfer opportunities to relocate
