Summary
After working in the transport industry for 30 plus years I decided to follow my passion of helping others. To this end I undertook and passed my Certificate III Individual Support (Aging and HACC) and the complimentary Individual Support (Disability Skill set). I secured employment as a Community Support worker in August of 2021 and continue in this role today.
Professional with strong experience in emergency response and crisis management. Skilled in situational assessment, problem-solving, and ensuring safety protocols. Known for effective team collaboration, adaptability, and delivering consistent results. Adept in communication, conflict resolution, and maintaining composure in high-pressure environments.
