Personal Statement for Senior Supprt Worker

I have worked in various social care settings for over 5 years from which I gained a broad knowledge in providing professional support to service users to enable and promote independent living and fulfilment. I am a conscientious worker and a credible team player with high degree of flexibility towards performance of my work. In the course of seeking both personal and professional development I have pursued and achieved several trainings and qualifications which include NVQ level 2 & 3 in Health and Social Care and level 3 in Health and Safety to facilitate my aspired role as a senior community support worker.
I assume various responsibilities at Eastway care and this has equipped me to work within non-discriminatory and legislative framework as well as adherence continually to Eastway care operational policies and procedures. Amongst my duties as a community support worker are to support the service users in their daily activities while upholding the service users’ dignity, support with personal hygiene, feeding, toileting etc while safeguarding and protecting them from any form of abuse (SOVA). I am highly skilled in implementing Person Centred Planning (PCP) starting from preparing the support plan to formulate the person centred reviews to ensure the individuals make an informed decision and also respecting and supporting their choice, wishes, aspirations e.g. money management, housing, career development et al. I always maintain high level of confidentiality and excellent interpersonal skills which enable me to interact and communicate effectively with both service users and colleagues easily regardless of any form of barriers present.
I work within the guidelines of “valuing People” at all time which has made me more sensitive to the diversity entrenched in our society and convince that promoting independence go a long way to enrich the individual’s ability, skills and knowledge no matter how minimal. Consequently I always research and evaluate support
