Bewerbungstext:
I am a certified caregiver with four years of providing home-based care for elderly patients with learning and mental health difficulties.
With my previous employer, I provided home care for rotations of up to ten patients a week. I took on basic medical care, keeping track of their mental state, offering basic developmental therapies, and helping with essential life duties. My patients were typically 65-80 years old with a range of physical and mental health concerns.
As my experience has grown, I have come to understand the signs that someone requires a further medical intervention, learning support, or simply someone to talk to. Elderly patients can forget basic tasks when they are ill or under stress, so I specialize in patient and caring education when it all gets a bit much.
A significant proportion of my previous patients were not ambulatory, and I therefore developed the skills (and strength) required when dealing with patients. I am a qualified physiotherapist and have helped people recover from many physical ailments brought on by their mental instability.
A second particular area of expertise is working with patients with dementia and Alzheimer’s. I have a diploma in Mental Health Nursing and Care and devote much of my spare time for fundraising. As a caregiver, I see the direct impact of these charity funds on the lives of my patients.
