@harrietuchealor
Compassionate care and support worker providing person-centred assistance, medication support, and dignity-focused care.
What I'm looking for
I assist with personal care while encouraging independence and activity appropriate to each individual’s ability. I’m a dedicated healthcare assistant and care and support worker with experience providing high-quality, person-centred care in residents’ homes and residential care settings.
I support people with mobility needs, medication assistance, meal preparation, and daily living activities—always promoting dignity, wellbeing, and safe routines. I document and observe changes in conditions and vital signs, report safeguarding concerns immediately, and help ensure confidentiality and respect for patients’ rights. I’m experienced caring for elderly individuals and those with physical disabilities, dementia, and complex care needs.
I also bring practical training in basic life support and manual handling, along with prevention and management of violence and aggression (PMVA), and CPD-focused health and social care learning. My professional ethos is building trusting relationships with service users and families, and working reliably as part of the care team to enhance quality of life.
