JAMILA BIJIWERA
Werribee,VIC
Summary
I am punctual, reliable, enthusiastic and have a calm and patient nature. After the experience of caring for my father for 16 years, I realised my suitability for a career in the aged care sector. I have completed studies in this area and am currently seeking part-time work as a health support worker. As part of the Cert 111 Individual Support certificate, I was deemed competent in all areas. I have experience in aged care as I am working at Estia health since 2020. And this job has enabled me to gain insight and experience in how to provide care that ensures the individual has their autonomy while being cared for.
