Name: KTWood Holistic Support for you 32969

About me: My name is Kayleigh, I have worked within the Health & Social Setting for over 10 years. I hold a Level 5 NVQ Health & Social Care qualification and have taken lead roles in all ventures so far, the most recent being a care home service within a local GP surgery.

Throughout my time working for others, it has become apparent that there is little support for individuals who require a little additional support but not a full (costly) care package larger organisations offer. I can offer as little as one 15 minute 'slot' to a full 5 hour 'day' support tailored to meet your needs, the aim being to support individuals to maintain independence or give a helping hand on tasks that get left due to difficulty completing them.

A little about me, I have a wonderful family who live with me in Fareham. I enjoy being outdoors, walking my dog and being with friends and family. I also love a good book and making a difference to those around me.

Experience: I began my journey in Health & Social Care as a carer supporting people in their own homes with daily tasks and personal care. From here, I moved to a residential home supporting adults with Mental Health diagnosis such as Psychosis, Schizophrenia, Autism, Bipolar, Personality Disorders etc. I began as a support worker and after a year, became the team lead where I would manage the home and the staffing team in the absence of the registered manager.

From here, I moved to a well known charity in the area and began working closely with individuals with Autism & Learning Disabilities. After a year of managing the organisations bank workers, I became the assistant manager for the domiciliary sector of the charity supporting adults with Autism and LD within their own homes across Hampshire.

For the last 3 years I have been working in Primary Care coordinating and supporting individuals in the local care homes.

Additional information: I am a new self employed business (since 15/04/24) called 'KTWood Holistic Support for you'. I look to provide the care and support to individuals with Autism, LD and older persons with personalised packages designed to suit the individual.

I am a self employed independent support worker looking to fill the gaps in my current work load. I am not looking for employment, only independent individuals able to fund care themselves through private or direct payment options.
