On October 19th, 2024, I had the privilege of attending a seminar focused on the role of caregivers in relation to service users, covering key topics such as communication, personal care, competence, personal development, duty of care, policies and procedures, equity and diversity, and safeguarding. The seminar also addressed the use of tools like the ABC Chart, incident book, and the importance of thorough documentation. It significantly enhanced my knowledge and practical skills in the workplace. The session was clear, engaging, and highly informative.

The most impactful aspect for me was the ‘Interview Preparation’ segment. I learned the importance of familiarizing myself with common interview questions and approaching them with confidence and composure. Additionally, I gained valuable insights on how to effectively present my experiences in a practical way. Researching the company’s core values and understanding their requirements for the role was also emphasized, allowing me to tailor my responses accordingly. This knowledge has greatly enhanced my approach to interviews.

“I had the privilege of being in Olayemi’s training organised by SEL Care Services Limited, where I gained valuable knowledge and insights. I learned the importance of confidently presenting my skills and achievements, and the distinction between being approachable and making friends in a professional setting. Olayemi also emphasized the importance of thoroughly understanding the organization’s handbook to stay aligned with company policies and only perform tasks I’ve been properly trained for. It was an empowering experience that has greatly enhanced my professional approach.”

I attended an online training organized by Mrs. Olayemi Soniran C.E.O of SEL Care Services Ltd, and it was truly eye-opening. The session addressed areas I had been struggling with, and Mrs. Olayemi’s insights on working smarter, improving efficiency, and organizing a CV were invaluable. Thank you for such a productive and impactful training!

I was opportune to be part of the training on Saturday, 19th September 2024. It was my first time attending any care-related training, and I have my wife to thank for sharing the link with me. It incredibly impactful, but I’ll highlight a few key takeaways.
> It’s crucial to read and understand my handbook, as it covers everything about my role, along with the policies and procedures.
> A statement that stuck with me was, ‘Don’t be too nice and fall into trouble.’
> I need to be smart.
> I should learn to market myself.
Although I had no prior experience in the care sector, this training has boosted my confidence, and I now see myself succeeding in this esteemed field. It has truly opened my eyes.
A heartfelt thank you Mrs. Olayemi Soniran (C.E.O SEL Care Services Limited)
