Summary
Fresh to the industry yet passionate Support Worker focused on improving client lives through high-quality support and person centred instruction. At the youthful age of 52 and still reasonably fit I am well qualified in many of life's skills, and it's financial and social situations. But it is with a keen focus on helping clients integrate into community and live more robust lives regardless of their abilities that motivates me the most and sees me committed to this new career path with anticipation.
