Award winning care company where my job is to care for the residents with a wide range of illnesses or diseases to the best of my ability to allow these residents to follow as much of an independent lifestyle as much as possible. I help with toileting, meal times, dressing, washing and any aspect they may need help with. I am always there to be a companion to these residents, my job is to be a friend as well as a carer. I am very passionate at ensuring that the elderly receive the best care available to them by myself and the people I work with. Having finished my HNC and approaching the end of my SVQ I was promoted to Senior Carer in 2014 where my role is to support the manager and supervisors in the running of the home effectively, liaising with the supervisors and manager to ensure that the highest care is being delivered in our home setting whilst building and maintains connections with residents and outer agencies. I have also been actively and heavily involved in care planning and ensuring that documentation is up to date and accurate, I have received training in many aspects of care and also ensure that the care team are using their training and skills effectively to the benefit to the home and the residents. I am regularly left in charge of the home in the absence of the manager and supervisor due to some recent shift changes which has been a steep learning curve.
