About
I am a dedicated Senior Support Worker with over 14 years of experience in the health and social care sector. I deliver person-centred support to individuals with a variety of needs, always working professionally and with compassion. I am confident working independently or as part of a team, with strong communication and interpersonal skills.
I hold a Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care (T2 Group), Maths Level 2, and English Level 1 (Farnborough College). I take pride in completing tasks efficiently and supporting service users with dignity and respect. My experience has given me the confidence to manage daily responsibilities with minimal supervision.
I am now seeking to progress in a Senior Support Worker role where I can continue making a positive impact.
