During my time working for Meridian, my duties were to ensure that I was on time to the many different care homes I was allocated to, to assist their usual staff with any help they needed, which included helping residents/service users to wash, dress, eat, toileting needs. Also I would go with residents to hospital and doctors appointments, day trips, hoisting and manual handling.

ResponsibilitiesWhilst working at Fernlea my duties were to ensure residents had all the correct medication before going to bed. Then to make sure that residents were in bed and comfortable and after that my duties were to make sure all cleaning was done e.g laundry, bathrooms, kitchen, ironing, hoovering, dining room, recreational room. During the night I would also check residents to make sure they were okay I also made sure my blood checks were done on diabetics and regular pad changes. Then I would wash, dress, shave and assist residents in getting up in the morning and then also complete care plans.

Working in a care home my job title is to ensure that all residents and individuals are fully cared for. These duties include, making sure residents are washed and cleaned everyday with fresh clothing, everyone is fed and always have a drink and to provide residents with activities and someone trustworthy to confide in and talk to. My job consists of me always doing manual handling within the day. When working in Newpark it is important to have excellent team working skills, as you are faced with team based duties throughout the day. It is also important to work independently and also to use your initiative as there are many different situations you are faced with everyday, in which you must remain calm and act fast. Working in Newpark it is an enjoyable and rewarding way to show my caring, listening and communication skills off.

My duties included, ensuring customers were always satisfied, even if the product they wanted was not on offer, to offer them a substitute. When working at Debenhams it was very important to work effectively within a team environment. This being as we only had a limited space in the small cafe bar and at certain points in the day we had busy periods, therefore effective team work and communication was necessary. Also working as an independent was important and always using initiative. Ensuring food safety at all times was an important factor to the job role. I also worked on the tills so have got a variety of knowledge on tills and cash handling.

As I worked at Lindley catering my duties were to ensure all new staff were trained on the tills, and also if any of the staff members were having a problem that they felt they could come to me. Cash handling was a priority to this job role as I would have to count floats at the start and at the end. Initiative was also a big factor as during half time this is when we faced our biggest rush and found that products ran out quickly. Therefore ensuring bar was always stocked at all times was highly important and also making sure that other alternatives were ready on hand.
