Application text:

Dear Sir/Madam,
It is with great enthusiasm that I apply for the position of Support Worker / Care Assistant at your esteemed organisation. I am a 27-year-old dynamic Cameroonian and a holder of the GCE Advanced and Ordinary Level Certificates and Bachelor degree. My deep interest in caregiving stems from personal experience, which has given me a strong foundation of compassion, patience, and hands-on caregiving knowledge.

For over a decade, I have been the primary caregiver for my 85-year-old adopted grandmother who suffers from the long-term effects of a stroke. Her condition, including immobility and pressure wounds, required me to provide full-time assistance — such as administering bed baths, preparing nutritious meals, repositioning her to prevent bedsores, and ensuring her hygiene and comfort. Though medical interventions were handled by professionals, I was responsible for her daily personal care. This hands-on experience taught me not only the core values of patience and attentiveness, but also gave me practical insight into the needs of individuals requiring continuous care.

Additionally, my part-time role as a teacher has enhanced my communication skills, teamwork, and adaptability. I have developed strong interpersonal skills, a sense of responsibility, and an understanding of how to accommodate individuals with diverse needs — all of which I believe are essential for a care assistant.

While my current environment lacks access to modern care technologies and professional training, I am eager to join an organisation like Prime Special Home, where I can learn and grow in a professional setting. I am open to training and committed to learning modern caregiving methods that would make me a versatile and effective member of your team.

Thank you for considering my application. I am available for an interview at your convenience, and I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to your compassionate
