Ashley Callender

I’ve always had a deep passion for helping others, which has shaped my career in care and support. Over the years, I’ve gained valuable experience across a variety of roles: providing care in people’s homes, working in a nursing home, offering companionship in the community, supporting rehabilitation after hospital discharge, and now working as a residential support worker for children in care. These diverse experiences have strengthened my understanding of people’s needs and equipped me with the skills to deliver compassionate, reliable, and tailored support.

I have completed a wide range of professional training through EduCare, equipping me with the knowledge and skills to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate support. Relevant modules include:

Health, Safety & Wellbeing: Infection Prevention & Control, Food Hygiene & Safety, Fire Safety, Health & Safety Awareness, First Aid Essentials, and Mental Wellbeing in Children and Young People.

Safeguarding & Protection: Safeguarding Young People, Child Protection, Domestic Abuse Awareness, Dealing with Bereavement & Loss, and Equality & Diversity.

Professional Standards: Information Governance & Data Security, UK Data Protection, and Online Safety.

This training underpins my hands-on experience and ensures I deliver support with professionalism, care, and a strong focus on wellbeing.
