I have exceptional experience in disability services in a support worker role as I am currently employed as a DSP in a healthcare environment. I am aiming to challenge and expand my abilities to advance further in this field which will allow me to acquire more recent skills and qualifications. Along with this I have gained experience in customer service and customer relations through being employed as a manager in a retail environment for more than 3 years. I am eager to work in a progressive team and am enthusiastic to learn new skills in disability and community support services. My current experience, problem-solving and communication skills help me adapt in new working environments whilst still achieving positive results.
