Danielle Joy Black

With over a decade of experience in community services I have dedicated myself to assisting others.

Through professional and lived experiences I have tailored my approach to support work to focus on embracing uniqueness, discovering self-sufficiency, celebrating and further developing existing skills, acknowledging talents, participating meaningfully, finding the funny, engaging authentically and of course having as much fun as possible.

Through active listening and open communication I aim to promote independence and autonomy. By incorporating laughter, learning from our mistakes and enjoying moments I have ultimately achieved individuals goals in a positive way.

With a proven track record of taking on responsibility and leadership I have guided and supported newer staff members to foster a positive and collaborative work environment.

I have handled various challenges that have risen in a dynamic environment ensuring a cohesive and efficient workspace.

My professional experience, coupled with personal insight has allowed me to develop into an adaptable and effective employee.

I demonstrate qualities of patience, respect and understanding, approaching challenges with perspective and infectious optimism.

I have case management expertise and quickly build trust and rapport with clients from diverse cultures to achieve high-quality care for individuals.

Specialising in situational assessments, conflict resolution and effective communication.

I have monitored and reported mental, emotional and behavioural health of individuals as well as collaborated with other members of a health care team to conduct psycho-social assessment, treatment planning and advocacy skills.

I am highly-motivated with a strong worth ethic and exceptional interpersonal skills who works effectively unsupervised and quickly masters new skills.

After some time away I am looking forward to an opportunity to contribute my skills and knowledge to something new.
