Hello, thank you for reading my profile. I'm a university educated British health care assistant with approximately seven years of care experience (both as a live-in and live-out carer) and i'm currently looking for ongoing live-in or live-out care work (i'm happy to consider both long term and shorter term placements which last preferably at least for a few months or longer) and ideally i'd like to work five days per week with 2 days off but i'm also open to other work patterns which have regular time off each week to enable a good work/life balance.

I believe (also based on feed back i've received) that some of the qualities i have that make me a good carer include being kind, empathetic, reliable, a good listener having strong communication skills, being well organised and good at working under my own initiative. i also enjoy supporting my clients to live a fulfilling life and to remain as independent as possible in their own homes and i'm also experienced at liasing with family members and other health care professionals as required and at accompanying my clients to appointments and social activities etc.

I have a current DBS, an NVQ Level 2 in Health and Social Care and all the required training certificates for carers and i'm a non-smoker (so i prefer to work in non-smoking environments only) and i'm a non-driver so my preference is to work in the London area (although if travel is covered by the employer, i will also consider working outside London if the location is within short walking distance of transport and facilities).
