Summary

Tia Walker: “To care for those who once cared for us is one of the highest honors.”. And I would add that certainly, to care for those who did not have to care for us is THE highest.

This role per se requires compassion and vocation. Kindness, experience, skills, professionalism and a person-centred approach have allowed me to work well independently and as a contributing member of care teams to provide the highest quality care.

I am a dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities and challenging behaviours with a positive attitude, strong organisational principles, to promote positive feedback from consumers, families/ representatives, and stakeholders.

I believe that if given the opportunity, I would be a valuable addition to your organisation.
