Summary
I have had a very successful career 40+ year career as a baker. Following a change in my personal circumstances, I decided it was time to move from Brisbane to Toowoomba arriving in late 2021.
In preparation for a career change, I completed a Certificate III in Individual Care and immediately found work with Brodribb Home commencing in January 2022.
Having experienced work in residential aged care, I feel my skills and personality may better suited to provision of one-on-one care for aged/disability clients in home and community contexts.
