Summary

Compassionate and dedicated professional with experience at Autumn Aged Care, skilled in personal hygiene assistance and emotional support. Proven ability to enhance patient comfort and promote independence through attentive care. Collaborated effectively with multidisciplinary teams to ensure optimal resource allocation and care coordination for clients.

For the past four years, I have been working as a Personal Care Assistant at Autumn Aged Care, where I support residents with their daily activities and needs, including the safe use of patient transfer equipment.

In addition to my current role, I also work casually as a Social Worker supporting individuals with disabilities, which has given me valuable insight into person-centred care and advocacy.

I’m also completing a Health Service Assistant placement at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, which finishes this week. This hands-on experience has strengthened my clinical skills and reinforced my passion for healthcare.

I am a compassionate and reliable person who takes great pride in my work. I genuinely enjoy caring for others and being part of a team that makes a positive difference in people’s lives.
