Summary
I am an intelligent, creative and well-presented woman in her mid-forties. Recently I have completed a Cert 3 in Individual Support whilst working as a lifestyle Officer at Calvary Noosa, a role I very much enjoyed. I have a background as an Early Childhood Educator in the local area and experience in Support work as well as the retail and hospitality industries. I am seeking a position that utilizes my new qualifications and professional experience, but also offers a work life balance that will allow me to support my family and spend time with them too!
