Summary

I began my career at Osborne in 2003, starting in the kitchen, and eventually transitioning to other roles within the facility. Over the past seven years, I have worked as a care nurse, which has been highly rewarding due to the direct care and interaction with residents.

I have taken on the leisure and wellness role for the past 6 months and found it enjoyable, beneficial and meaningful .

The opportunity to support and encourage households and residents by organising activities and planning events has been incredibly rewarding.

During this role, I have built a strong rapport with the staff, residents, families, and volunteers. This connection has given me valuable insights into their needs and preferences, which will guide me in planning and executing activities for all residents' needs.

This incredible experience Uniting has provided me with numerous opportunities to upskill and grow, both professionally and personally.

Throughout my time here at Osborne, I have become deeply familiar with Uniting's values and standards. I am committed to upholding these principles and carrying out my responsibilities with the utmost dedication and integrity.
