Katherine East,NT

Summary

My desire to see everyone live a comfortable life one they desire. This has made me become more passionate as a social support worker. My objective is to help people who need support mentally, physically, or emotionally so as to make the world a better place for them. That is the reason why I always veer towards social courses that help create a better community. I know that I can make a meaningful difference in the society and the lives of my clients as a social support worker. I am empathetic, approachable, patient, and possess good communication and listening skills. I have worked for two years as a support worker. I have worked in care settings, residential, and home settings. I have supported clients from different age groups with different type of physical, mental, and emotional support needs. I am currently seeking a role that would help improve the quality of life of people who may need my support (mentally, physically, or emotionally) to live a comfortable and high-quality life. I believe I will create meaningful difference in their lives through my support.

I understand that I will be working in a challenging environment and a field that requires constant skills improvement. I will need to commit to enhancing my skills as I progress with my career as an individual or disability support worker. I will also work towards achieving exceptional achievement in supporting individuals who need my help as a social support worker.
