I am extremely interested in the role of care assistant that is currently available. My background includes excellent experience providing patient service and compassionate care in both health care facility and in-home environments.
With 4 years of experience as a healthcare assistant, I am adept in diagnostic support, charting, and patient care. Moreover, while my on-the-job experience has afforded me a well-rounded skill set, including first-rate documentation and time management abilities, I excel at:
Assisting with procedures and treatment interventions.
Completing and submitting clinical documentation.
Following up with patients regarding appointments, test results, and referrals.
Preparing shift and bedside reports.
Ensuring that all health and safety standards are met according to the HIPAA regulations.
Hands-on experience in assisting nurses in personal care tasks where technical skills are not mandatory.
Providing individualized patient care by tending to the specific needs and requirements of each person.
Bathing, grooming, and dressing patients.
Meal planning, housekeeping, feeding, ambulation, and medication reminders.
Aside from ensuring that all patients are well looked after physically, it is my belief that the most important requirement as a care assistant is to ensure that patients feel relaxed and happy. As a result, I do my utmost to make sure that each patient retains as much of his/her independence as possible. As well as being dedicated and hardworking, I take genuine pride in caring for people from all cultures.
Having met the academic requirements, I graduated with a degree in Applied Microbiology and Brewing in 2012. I specialized in Medical Microbiology. I also have an Advanced Certificate in Clinical Health and Safety, Dementia Awareness, Infection Control which were local trainings in my place of work but equivalent to the essential requirements. Finally, I am tech-savvy with certificates in Microsoft 365 Professional and Certified Google Analytics which are vital for the administrative responsibilities attached to this role.
