Summary

I am applying for a position in a healthcare facility to further develop my skills, knowledge, and experience while providing high-quality care. I am deeply passionate about working in a healthcare setting.

I am a compassionate, responsible individual dedicated to delivering top-notch youth workers and individual community support workers ensuring that elderly individuals can live with dignity, comfort, and independence. I am seeking a role as a youth worker and individual support professional, drawing on my solid background in youth support and individual support. I aim to provide exceptional resident care, maintaining a safe, clean, and supportive environment for clients. My experience has allowed me to work with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, giving me the confidence to engage with various communities. Additionally, I possess strong interpersonal and communication skills, including report writing and case management notes. As a multilingual individual, I speak four languages: Arabic, English, Acholi, and Ma’di (my mother tongue). With proficiency in these languages, I believe I can offer tailored support to individuals with diverse needs. I am of Ugandan origin, hailing from the Ma’di tribe in Africa, Uganda.
