Overview
I have gained experience working within a
rehabilitation centre. I have developed skills
in de-escalation and how to be adaptable in
situations. Communication skills and
working with other services to provide good
quality care. My main experience with work
comes from manufacturing. However, with
this industry there are alot of transferable
skills that I have obtained. These are
leadership skills, knowing the importance of
teamwork. Also making sure that every
effort is made for the service user.
Experience

I worked within a rehabilitation centre in
South Africa where I helped those who are
addicted to substances such as: heroin and
narcotics. While there my main
responsibilities was to provide
entertainment, help with coping strategies,
make meals and help with personal care.
As well as working within a team to help
de-escalate situations when frustration
arises in the service user's addiction.

CATS was a business I built from the
ground up, utilising my skills that I gained
over my years of hard work, eventually my
business was able to support myself and
family, I left this business behind due to
relocating to the UK with my family. Owning
