Emma Kemp

I consider myself to be flexible, reliable, conscientious, hard working and always give 100% in the workplace. I am patient and a good communicator with the ability to display empathy. I also feel my strengths for this role include my caring and approachable style. I am also able to work well under pressure and I'm adaptable to any working environment. 

I consider myself to work well in a team with good oral and written communication skills. I also recommend the need to passing on and share the necessary information to the team when required. 

I understand the need to follow the confidentiality policy at all times and all information i have read or recorded is confidential and files are to be stored in a locked cabinet. I have an understanding of the relevant policies and procedures. I have had previous experience in dealing with finances and have also completed a book keeping course.

I have had lots of experience in personal care while working in the community and day centres and giving guidance and advice with personal hygiene. I am fully aware of ensuring privacy and dignity is to be maintained at all times also taking into consideration the individuals needs and listening to them effectively and taking time to understand them.

Working with many individuals communication is very important, I have the understanding of taking time to listen and look to ensure I have understood what has been communicated to me. Furthermore I ensure I speak or communicate very clearly for the individuals to be able to understand and recognise what I am communicating to them.

I have gained experience to encourage and support individuals in having a structured day and to manage day to day life within their home and out in the community. I also see the need to allow individuals to make their own choices and decisions and for individuals who can't have an advocate or family that can communicate and support them and i feel comfortable working with and communicating with to meet the individuals needs choices dignity and privacy. I have supported individuals to do social activities out in the community in compliance of their personal budget and this enables them to interact with other members of the public. I have always respected individuals choice and always ensured their safety while doing so. I have witnessed many emergencies being out in the community and reporting and recording to emergency services and managers and have dealt with challenging behaviour during my time working in the community and day centres.

I have gained experience in promoting independence for individuals to support them to live independently in everyday life to ensure a full and valued life within the community.

Also I feel it's important in encouraging individuals to be creative for them to engage and can enable them to expand their ideas and thinking, collaborative working with their peers enables the individuals to demonstrate and build on their skills experience and achievements.

I feel Its important to be clear about activity purpose and how it relates to the skills needs of the individuals.  I also feel the need to observe what works for a particular individual and what doesn't. To work through emotional issues that could cause a barrier. It is also important to use individuals own words language materials and personal context.

I completed my sci award in 2017 and im registered and I've completed my level 2 diploma in health and social care and manual handling and i also have food hygiene.

I have experience in administering medication by following care plans and always keeping medication locked away safely in a medication cabinet and also aware of recording all medication given in line with policy and guidance and to always report any changes in health and behaviour.
