Professional Summary
I am a dedicated and compassionate individual driven by a strong desire to make positive difference in others’ lives, with a resilient mind set and a commitment to both physical and mental fitness. I place so much value on improvement because I believe we stop learning when we stop breathing. This is why I’m always willing to learn from my colleagues so I can carry out my duties better than I did yesterday.
My empathetic nature compels me to provide aid to those who are unable to help themselves, I possess a genuine kindness and a willingness to go above and beyond to help people and I embrace the challenges inherent in supporting individuals who need to be supported.
Furthermore, my organizational skills and meticulous approach enable me to work as an effective team player, work under pressure and handle multiple responsibilities simultaneously. I excel as a communicator, genuinely enjoying engaging with service users and their families while maintaining professional boundaries, creating a welcoming environment where they can feel safe, supported and have a positive experience while in our care.
2
Treating fellow members of staff and service users with utmost respect and integrity irrespective of their cultural or religious diversities are of great value to me.
Through effective communication and collaboration with healthcare professionals and service users’ families, my aim is to empower individuals to reach their full potentials. Work Experience
