Description
Hi my name Francis but I like to go by Frank. I have over 13 years experience in the care industry and have worked with many different vulnerable age groups from children to adults with varied needs and find this work very rewarding. I have cared for female and male clients and would be willing to do p.a. work or personnel care. I have business insurance for my car so can take clients out for the day.
I’m friendly, caring and compassionate about supporting others around me that might need help. Meeting the needs of others through care and enabling their independence as long as possible keeps me smiling!
I have experience in many different areas of care work and would be willing to work with young adults aswell as older clients from learning difficulties to domiciliary.
