Senior Caregiver in Johannesburg, South Africa, Seeks Senior Caregiver Job.Mercy's Senior Caregiver Profile 3764932

Dedicated and compassionate Health Care Assistant with over three years of hands-on experience in elderly and in-home care across multiple facilities in South Africa. I specialize in supporting patients with complex age-related conditions including dementia, chronic illness, disability, and post-surgical recovery.

At FCGT Wellness Centre in Kempton Park, where I have worked since February 2024, I deliver comprehensive in-home care to patients with diverse medical needs. My responsibilities include implementing care plans, monitoring vital signs, administering medication, wound care, catheter management, and assisting with all aspects of daily living. I achieved a 98% patient satisfaction rating through attentive, respectful care and clear communication with both patients and their families.

Previously, I completed a full practical placement at Dolphins Corner Assisted Living and Caring Guesthouse, where I gained extensive experience working directly with elderly residents. My supervisor described me as "punctual, neat, trustworthy, and an eager learner with excellent caregiving skills." I also worked at Tumelo Home Care, where I adapted daily care routines for disabled patients, coordinated medication schedules, and provided mobility assistance.

I hold a Diploma in Caregiving from Florence Academy (UK-accredited, CPD certified) and have completed 11 professional certifications including: Basic Life Support, First Aid, Medication Administration, Fluids and Nutrition, Food Hygiene, Mental Capacity, Fire Safety, Moving and Handling, Dignity in Care, and the full Pathway to Care Programme in Adult Social Care. All certifications are CPD-accredited and Skills for Care endorsed.

My clinical skills include: vital signs monitoring (oximeter, blood pressure, glucose, thermometer), wound dressing, catheter care, tube feeding, nebulizer and oxygen administration, safe patient transfers, and bedsore prevention through proactive mobility protocols.

I am a fluent English speaker, hold a valid Zimbabwean passport, and am available for immediate international relocation. I am seeking a live-in elderly care position where I can bring my training, experience, and genuine compassion to a family that values dignified, professional care.
