What I'm looking for

I seek a client-focused role in social services or healthcare where I can deliver direct support, grow professionally, and contribute to community wellbeing.

I am a dedicated social work graduate with practical experience across healthcare and community-focused organizations. I trained in social case work, patient assessment, bereavement support, and delivery of social and economic assistance.

During internships at Hospice Africa Uganda, Kiruddu National Referral Hospital, and Nsambya Home Care, I handled client intake, counseling, HIV screening support, caregiver training facilitation, and distribution of support packages to vulnerable patients.

As a graduate trainee at Joint Medical Store, I gained logistics exposure including picking processes, supplier receiving, batch verification, and inventory counting, broadening my operational skills beyond direct social services.

I work well in teams, adapt quickly, and communicate effectively; I seek opportunities where I can apply my social work skills to support clients and contribute to community development.
