Summary

I have enjoyed working in the Aged care industry for the last 19 years and experienced many different roles , :Lifestyle assistant, carer, cleaner and Team leader .

The ability to work autonomously and easily adaptable to change I can think fast and adjust or tailor a program to meet the needs of the residents.

Some of my strengths are structuring programs and taking pride in delivering interesting quality programs to the residents that keep them engaged and maintain their wellness , programs are always designed to enhance or maintain their current abilities.

I am able to work independently and as part of a collaborative team and keeping within time frames.
