Summary
As an acting Residential Centre Supervisor, formerly Integration Support Worker, I am passionate about helping individuals to reintegrate into society after they have been released from the prison. My expertise in creating tailored plans have helped clients successfully secure employment, find housing, and access community resources. My role extends beyond assisting clients, as I also mentor and support new staff members to help them provide the best possible care. I am committed to make a positive impact on the lives of individuals who are on parole and am confident that I can continue to make a difference in this field.
