Personal Statement
I am a friendly, physically fit Care Assistant who genuinely loves working with people and
making a positive difference to their lives. I absolutely love my job and the fact that every
day I get to help the patients in my care to be independent and have the happiest day
they can, despite the challenges they face. I am looking for another full- time job closer to
home as I’ve moved with my partner and now face a 1.5 hour commute! I have great
references both from my current and past positions.
