I am a Health and Community Services Practitioner with a background and international work exposure as an international student graduate . I am currently looking for casual employment opportunities in Disability, Youth Work and Mental Health. I understand that you are seeking male disability and mental health support workers to provide care and support to vulnerable members of the community. I am driven, empathetic, passionate, friendly, optimistic and fun loving and believe my multilingual skills, international experience and background and can-do attitude adds to my professional depth and makes me an asset to your organization. I have over 6 months recent practical experience, having worked in hospital, in-home care, nursing homes and disability services related non-profits. I have unlimited work rights in Australia and can provide recent employment references on demand. In addition to my related qualifications, I have a working with children check and aslo a working with vulnerable peoples card.

I note that you specifically are looking for candidates with experience handling challenging complex behaviors. I do have this experience. An example is successfully with a dementia patient with episodes of panic attacks and risky behavior. I also have experience working with clients with Mental Health issues not just in a hospital setting but in a mental health ward setting as well. One quick example of this is successfully de-escalating working with others, a mental health client with suicide ideation, brought in to the emergency unit in a hospital I was rostered in. I ended up alone with the client in the Adult mental ward and managed her successfully till the following morning back in nigeria.
