Description
I have two passions in life - fitness and, what stems out of it, a passion for care. Being a fitness instructor and delivering fitness programs such as Aerobic, Yoga, Pilates, Chair Yoga, Aquafitness, Less Mills Body Pump, Body Combat, Spin, ETM (age group 50+), Boxercise any age group, Kickboxing, Outdoor Circuit activities.
I have worked at an after-school club where I had to create and organise activities for children of a few different age groups. I am a very sociable person and I easily got on with all the children.
I also often work with elderly fitness users. I enjoy the challenge in my fitness job, and this client group is a unique cohort, which poses specific challenges for me on my professional and personal levels. As part of the fitness job, some of my members/clients may have Parkinson's disease, dementia, limited mobility, or bedridden. This inspired me to explore further care work with the elderly.
My work experience accounts for working in The private community & Care Home in Erdington as a Care Assistant doing mainly night shifts. I was responsible for care routines – bathing, dressing, support moving around, some necessary health checks, working as a part of a team, keeping records up-to-date, and ensuring a person-centered approach at all times bearing in mind basic safeguarding principles. I have experience working in domiciliary care as a Care assistant as well. My duties would typically include cooking food and serving, necessary cleaning, reading, personal care, and hoist use where necessary for positioning or moving and handling. I am a very patient person and a good listener.I like to give my best to ensure service users are happy, comfortable, and well looked after. I have an excellent ability to empathise with them providing my care experience .I support my clients to have a variety of food choices they can eat .
