S G Charith Ruvinda Subasinghe

I am a professional caregiver with 9 years of consecutive experience willing to gain new knowledge, bear exemplary character and have good references as a caregiver. Also, I have lived in England for nearly 7 years, where I have a substantial sense of the way of life in England as well as the English language.

I would like to mention below my academic achievements for your kind consideration.

1. Alison CPD Diploma in Caregiving. 

2. Level 3 of Professional Caregiving IVQ from UK Gatehouse Awards. 

3. Certification of Nursing Assistant – Private Nursing College Karapitiya

4. Certificate of First Aid – CPR- AED – UK FAST 

5. Certificate of First Aid at Work – UK FAST

6. Certificate of Basic Wound Care Management – Kings Hospital 

7. Certificate of OSH for Healthcare professionals – National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health 

8 And in 2010, while in the UK, I passed my first degree from the University of East London with a second-class upper. 

I was a bio-science student in the upper classes at the school level. Even though I obtained good grades in the final A/L exam, still couldn’t beat the compilation to enter the faculty of medicine. Hence, I focused on the ICT sector, which was a trend at that time and went to the United Kingdom for my higher education. 

After graduation, I returned home and joined HPDF as a senior program officer in a project which helps senior citizens in rural areas. I have conducted several international projects there and got the opportunity to work in a care home project which was consolidated in elderly care.

In that cluster, I improved my palliative care skills, client Manual handling, Medicine management, Care of dementia clients, monitoring and record keeping vital signs,  PEG tube feeding and many more essential skills. I also joined TLC as a professional caregiver and upskilled myself with new technology tools and methods. 

I offer care that is genuine and consistent, and I constantly look for new ways to engage and lend a helping hand to where it’s needed. I have always felt that the two most important aspects of this are regular exercise and plentiful communication.  I have developed excellent relationships with both residents, staff and medical service providers.
