Summary

I am actively looking for a full-time position, part time or casual work. I have had three jobs in the hospitality sector, over 2 years of experience in the disability support industry and have had multiple contract positions which have helped broaden my skill set and assist in determining what it is I want to do for a career. I am motivated to continue working in the health services industry and I would like to focus in the disability support industry as I find it the most rewarding and suited to my personality and skill set. During my studies at uni and time spent being a support worker, I believe I have adopted key traits and obtained valuable experience which contributes to me feeling i am a successful support worker. I have listed my experience in the disability sector below under “Skills”. I have successfully completed my first year of Bachelor of Nursing at University and have almost completed my second year but have deferred for the time being due to unforeseen circumstances.

I do have the occasional social/family event to attend and I would appreciate having some time off when possible.
