Martyna J
I’m Martyna a proud 38 years old Polish soul who believes in the magic of family, the joy of new adventures, and the power of a good cup of coffee. I was born and raised in Poland and lived with my wonderful Parents and my younger Brother. Family means the world to me, and nothing beats spending time with my folks and my adorable 3-year-old nephew, Casper. I decided to move to Ireland, where I embraced the challenge of studying Physiotherapy and Sports Injury for two years. The experience not only fuelled my passion for helping others but also gave me the courage to carve out my own path. Here I met my partner who supports me in every step of my journey. He works as a Project Manager, although he’s on his fifth year of Dentistry, well done to him for making his dreams come true, and yes he practised on me! Together, we made our way to the city of Edinburgh, where I enjoyed the nature with long walks and cycling, that has become our favourite pastimes. I also have a keen interest in healthy living, especially clean food as I know the effects a bad diet can have on your well-being and general health. I’m not always an angel with my food and will never turn down a pizza or a large portion of chips, those are my guilty pleasures. I’ve been in the care industry for 14 years now, primarily working with the elderly and catering to a range of different backgrounds. I believe I’ve made a positive impact in many of my client’s lives and I want to do the same with those who have experienced and are living with a spinal injury. It's a field that deeply interests me, and I'm excited about the journey ahead. In the near future, I plan to continue my studies and will be looking into how I can learn more about trichology – the science of scalp and hair micro pigmentation. I love to continually develop my skills and know that my calling is to help others, in any way I can. I’m hard-working and very considerate, and my friends will tell you I’m a ‘people person’ even though I do enjoy my own company from time to time.

Hello, my name is Hope. well most people always say l'm a rare of sunshine due to the pleasant self. you need to meet me in person so you understand what l 'm talking about.. l am confident that l could provide holistic care to any particular individual accordingly. l have worked within most of the care setting of Edinburgh council and many more care settings including new challenging service user from Royal Edinburgh Hospital. l am aware and have good understanding of the working regulations, policy’s and procedure around the Council and SSSC. l have worked voluntarily and payed jobs as a support worker in peoples own houses, care homes of elderly, Aids orphans, clinics, hospital, respite units, independent living, Hostels of homeless, woman’s refuges and day centre's. This has developed my working skills and the ability to work co-operatively with a wide range of multi-disciplinary professional teams. In having that privilege to work alongside with these professionals such as Doctors, therapists, nurses, dentists, dietitians, pharmacists, psychologists and social workers. This has given me an opportunity to have an insight in how the healthcare field works under strict ethical codes of practice and high professional standards, which I feel and think helps to promote person centred caring. All this intertwines with my current employment where the people I support are a priority and the main goal is to improve their lives and daily living in every way possible. Through these work placements, I have developed the knowledge, skills, experience and competences essential for working in the care and domiciliary settings. I have gained the ability to communicate verbally and in writing. I am able to provide a calm and consistent approach whilst being sensitive to the individual service needs of each service user I encounter. l work well as part of a team but can also work individually unsupervised using my own initiative and under pressure whilst at the same time being aware of the support available to me should the need arrive. within the team I pay attention to everyone, take constructive criticism and reflect to my practise. i value others opinion. I have worked with service users with physical, victims of abuse,down syndrome, learning disabilities and mental health problems. This has enhanced my patience and confidence, as a result l am able to socialise with people of all various age, race religion and gender. Some of the qualities l possess include being trustworthy, patient, confident, honest, reliable, smart, punctual, determine, non-judgement , and always have time to spare.l am willing to take any tasks that are presented to me and ensure that they are carried out to the best of my ability. I also poses a leadership skill from an early age of being a class monitor, a prefect in primary, in high school l was a class captain, at college l was a class rep, in my spare time at present lm a the chairperson of board of trustees in a recognised charity in Glasgow and in my present post lm the key worker of my service user. l am a fun healthy firmly with many Interests and hobbies.

I have managed to overcome the adversity of studying at a higher education level, regardless of being dyslexic and managed to successfully complete my HNC in Social Care course in 2011. I do not succumb to pressure regardless of my dyslexia. It is the hard work and determination that pulled me through. I’m aware of the emotional and cognitive demands of this job. I will manage these demands by workload prioritising, and maintaining a balance of personal life and work. I have no doubt that this is the job I want to do and i have the required qualification and experience. I feel that i know, understand and love my job well ,
