Alzira Fernandes
@alzirafernandes
Support worker experienced in autism and mental health care, with resilience under pressure.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I have a wide range of experience dealing with challenging service users with mental disabilities in the healthcare sector, which has built my confidence in handling stressful situations and working under pressure.
I’ve worked as a Support Worker across multiple care settings, including autism-focused support, where I developed a practical, calm approach to day-to-day care and consistent support needs.
Alongside healthcare, I’ve worked in catering and hospitality, giving me insight and experience in fastfood, restaurant, and hotel environments—along with cleaner and kitchen assistant duties.
I also have leadership experience from roles such as Team Leader and Manager, and I’m motivated to bring that steadiness, empathy, and work ethic into a role where I can support people effectively while staying focused in busy situations.
