What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a full-time summer role and a part-time position in my final university year, where I can deliver safe, compassionate support, work collaboratively, and keep improving my skills in healthcare and people-focused environments.

I’m a dependable, hardworking Healthcare Assistant with a strong people focus and the ability to work well both independently and as part of a team. I bring excellent communication and initiative, especially in busy, high-pressure situations where accuracy matters.

In my healthcare roles, I’ve built trust with clients through practical, consistent communication and by maintaining a steady, productive environment. I also developed strong care-and-compliance habits by ensuring paperwork and reports were completed and maintained effectively.

I’ve earned certificates across key areas including First Aid, Autism Awareness, Epilepsy training, and Children’s First certification. Alongside healthcare, I’ve strengthened my customer-facing and safety mindset through experience in hospitality, safety instruction, and sales support.
