What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where safety and people-first care matter. I want to use my first aid, team leadership, and hands-on support experience while continuing to learn and grow in a structured, supportive team.

I’m a committed lifeguard and health and social care professional who takes responsibility seriously, whether it’s pool safety or personal care. I bring a calm, safety-first mindset, backed by practical first aid experience across multiple settings.

In my current role as a Senior Lifeguard at Opuke thermal pool and spa, I manage a team and handle plant room duties/checks to keep the facility running safely. Previously, I’ve also worked as a Lifeguard at holiday parks and in fitness environments, with strong focus on pool supervision and first aid readiness.

Alongside lifeguarding, I’ve built substantial experience in care. As a Care Assistant and later a First Aid Support Worker/Team leader at Elite Care Solutions, I provided personal care, supported people with complex needs on a 24-hour basis, and attended MDT meetings as part of a team approach.

I’m also developing further through education, working toward Level 6 Health and Social Care (Bsc with Hons). I enjoy roles that combine leadership, service, and hands-on problem solving—like swimming instruction, mentoring through team leadership, and helping people feel supported and safe.
