Summary
I have dedicated years in honing my skills as a Support Worker, in the disability sector, where I have worked with clients that need individualised support, guidance, and mentorship. This role has allowed me to care compassionately and be a responsible individual with a strong commitment to providing quality care older adults can live with maximum dignity, comfort, and independence. As a support worker, I strive to provide social, emotional, and practical support to individuals and their families by providing best duty of care, listening keenly, and empowering my clients to lead happy and fulfilling lifestyles. I have accomplished a great deal in helping communities/participants by representing them and providing other advocacy-needed support. As a result of my skill set and knowledge, I have increased clientele, evaluated plans, identified participant needs, and efficiently used resources based on quantifiable results.
