REBECCA PYLE

Bannockburn

Summary

I am a motivated Social Worker with a comprehensive knowledge of social justice issues and systems affecting marginalised communities. I am a detail-oriented team player with strong organisational skills to handle multiple projects simultaneously with a high degree of accuracy and I am passionate about developing and facilitating programs to support communities in need. I like to collaborate with others, building strategic partnerships, advocating for clients and carers to meet the needs of the community. I believe supporting a carer is just as important as supporting the client.

On a personal note, I am a mum to three beautiful girls, and I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, listening to music, going for walks and going for a swim.
