A conscientious, professional care worker with twenty years' experience in the health care sector, with a genuine interest and enthusiasm for helping and looking after others. I am especially experienced in aiding the elderly, and those unable to carry out everyday activities independently. I have a wealth of experience in maintaining a healthy and safe living and work environment and making sure that resources are utilised effectively and according to practice guidelines.

I posses an impressive track record in helping to promote the physical and personal independence of clients. I am highly motivated and currently seeking a suitable care assistant position in the Plymouth and surrounding area.
