Summary
I currently have over six years experience working in the disability sector from Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast. This has provided me with a diverse range of opportunities to help assist clients from all ages with different needs and disabilities (both physical and intellectual).
I have provided varying levels of care, from minimal assistance (daily living tasks at home), to complex, high-support needs (PEG feeding, behavioural issues, non-verbal clients). Most of the clients I currently work with require a higher level of support and reliability to ensure that they can count on me being there, and providing them with the assistance they need. I can confidently say that I have since gained the ability to adapt myself as a support worker into the lives of each individual client. As well as independent living, I have assisted clients with academic responsibilities, including support with university assignments, class attendance, and extended study sessions. I have also supported clients in workplace settings, helping them to navigate their roles and develop independence.
