Personal Profile
Working as a care worker and doing a five day course introduced me to Care Planning, Challenging Behaviour, Food Hygiene, Infection Control, Basic First Aid Awareness, Manual Handling, Fire Awareness, Communication, Administration of Medication, Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults, Safeguarding Children, Epilepsy and Personal Care. Working within the care sector has given me an insight into what the Care Quality Commission and the Quality and Outcomes Framework role involves.
While working for the Minor Injuries Unit it afforded me the opportunity to work with the general public face to face. I was also involved with the staff rota ensuring cover was available if staff was off sick by making the appropriate phone calls. I assisted with the recruitment of staff by collating application forms and helping to eliminate candidates. Typed and updated the Units policies and procedures. Worked along side the out of hours GP service in the evenings as we shared the same office. I had the opportunity to work bank shifts for a Consultant at the hospital as a Medical Secretary doing audio typewriting when not working at the MIU.
The creative side of me has always been there even as a child. I would love doing art at school, dressmaking or anything which I would make use of my hands. As a an aromatherapy masseur using the various oils to get the olfactory senses going and reflexologist to get the body back in order by massaging the feet; I am again using my hands, which I have been told are healing hands. These skills could be incorporated into a patient centred program of social, creative and skill based activities in which inclusiveness is the key.
Working as a live in carer looking after Dementia, Parkinson's and Cancer patients have taught me that they are all individuals with different needs and therefore require different approaches.
My skill set is vast and varied and I have no doubt that my role as a live in carer will incorporate all my skills under one umbrella. This is the challenge I have been looking for and I am confident that I am the right person for the job.
