Sana Asif

I am fully qualified as a radiographer, I studied BSc (Hons) Diagnostic Radiography at the University of Cumbria. I am aware of the imaging techniques, radiation safety protocols, and patient care that is entailed in this profession. Additionally, I have precise attention to detail, strong communication skills, and ability to work well in a team.

I am a dedicated Diagnostic Radiographer with clinical experience in achieving tangible results and cross-team collaboration. I am proactive and excited to partner with like-minded individuals to achieve goals. Prior to this I have worked in a care home in Bolton for 1 year.

I enjoy working in a care home because it allows me to make a meaningful difference in people's daily lives. I find it rewarding to support residents with their individual needs, build trusting relationships, and provide compassionate, person-centred care. I value the opportunity to offer comfort, dignity, and companionship, while also working as part of a team to ensure a safe and positive environment for everyone.

I also have one and a half years experience as a teaching assistant in a primary school and have worked with mainstream children along with SEN children as I love to help out wherever I can.
