Description
I'm 35, originally from the West Country and have been working in health and social care for the last nine years, including lots of rehabilitation and therapy based work for clients, implementing physio, occupational, speech and music therapy. This is an aspect of the job I really enjoy and thrive off, seeing progress in the people I help. I've got a lot of experience working with a wide range of conditions, from dementia, brain injuries to mental health, as well as working and collaborating with a number of multidisciplinary teams. I like to think of myself as affable, articulate, empathetic and patient when dealing with people. Outside of work I'm a keen pianist, cyclist and enjoy reading and keeping up to date with current affairs.
