Caring and kindness come naturally to me. As a support worker with 10 years of experience in home, residential, and community-based services, I focus on client-directed, person-centred care for individuals facing challenges related to ageing, disability, and mental health. My focus is on empowering clients to engage in and build their independence through personalised support, helping them achieve their goals. I am reliable, emotionally mature, and committed to ensuring each person's unique needs are met, enabling them to lead fulfilling lives.
Provided support as part of a Collaborative Team to a client with psychosocial disability living in a 24/7 mental facility in his recovery journey to achieve his goal for transition back to his home. This was accomplished through compassionate and positive strategies, focusing on developing skills for using a mobile phone to access public transport for community outings, and emphasizing the importance of increasing confidence, independence, and improving communication.
