I am a highly motivated support worker that demonstrates the ability to develop strong and trusting relationships with both clients and their families.
I communicate well even when facing barriers.
My non-intrusive approach mixed with a friendly disposition means i get along with almost anyone.
I like to implement learning experiences where not expected, which often makes learning a lot more fun.
I thrive on watching others succeed, fullfil their goals, or achieve something they never thought they could, that's when i succeed.
I have strong problem solving skills and a great ability to research or resource. I have NDIS knowledge and have successfully assisted with a number of plan reviews.
I am reliable and trustworthy and can be depended on.
I have my drivers licence and a fully licenced and insured vehicle.
Proudest moment in my career
In 2017 my work was recognised and I was honoured to be nominated by my supervising co-ordinator for the "NDIS Support Worker Of the year" award.
