Summary
As a dedicated and resilient professional with nearly five years of experience, I am eager to contribute my skills and passion to a casual/part-time role within the youth sector. My background in youth work has equipped me with a strong foundation in support work, including thorough TCI skills. Through conversations with family and friends in the field, I have gained valuable insights into the nuances and challenges of youth work. Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Social Work, I am eager to apply my academic knowledge to practical casework. I am confident in my ability to quickly adapt to new environments, build rapport with young people, and provide effective support. I am excited about the opportunity to interview and discuss how my skills and aspirations align with your organisation's mission.
