Ashleigh, senior home help in Dundee

I have a passion for caring for people who require help, I have genuine concerns for others and I am organised and very dependable. I am very good at listening and being there for people and I am quick to react well in bad situations. I have very good people skills and I am a very understanding person, I always try and encourage residents to do simple things for themselves to help them keep there dignity.

I have done moving and handling training along with other courses such as health and safety and first aid, food and hygiene and understanding the elderly.

In my spare time over the past few years I have been busy fundraising for two charities close to my heart, dementia and cystic fibrosis.

My greatest achievement to date is climbing Ben Nevis in aid of cystic fibrosis and raising a great £890, altogether for cystic fibrosis I have raised £3500, with a lot of help from family and friends.
