James Davey
Mosman,NSW
Summary
Dynamic and dedicated professional with extensive experience in both home and clinical care environments. As the owner-operator of a successful home care business for the past five years, I have gained invaluable hands-on experience managing day-to-day operations and nurturing strong relationships with clients, families, and care teams.
Thirteen months of clinical training in a residential aged care facility (RACF) further deepened my expertise and prepared me for in-home care environments. After pivoting the business to a 90/10 focus on NDIS participants, I developed a strong interest in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and have since supported clients across all levels of the spectrum.
