My Summary

My Experience

I have over four years of experience working as a support worker for children in care, supporting young people with a range of needs, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Within my role, I support children with their education, help develop their independent living skills, and promote their physical and emotional wellbeing. I am experienced in building positive, trusting relationships with children and young people, creating a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where they feel supported and valued.

I am passionate about promoting healthy lifestyles and enjoy cooking, which I regularly incorporate into activities with children. I support young people in learning essential life skills such as meal preparation, understanding nutrition, and building confidence in the kitchen, while also making the experience fun and engaging.

I hold a Level 3 qualification in Children’s Residential Care and I am currently working towards my Level 4 qualification, alongside studying Psychology at university. My long-term career goal is to become a self-employed child psychologist, and I am highly motivated to continue developing my knowledge and skills in supporting children’s emotional, behavioural, and developmental needs.

Through my experience, I have developed strong communication skills, patience, empathy, and the ability to adapt to each child’s individual needs. I am committed to providing high-quality care, ensuring children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to thrive.
