Casual Support Worker. Glenelg.
Are you a person who understands what it feels like to want to live in your own home, and make personal decisions about your life.
I am 67 years old and very soon I will be living in my own home in the community for the first time in my life. This has been one of my life goals for a long time, so I am determined to make it successful.
I like going out for coffee. I love books, having my nails done, going into the city on the train and going shopping. I also enjoy spending quiet time playing games at home and making jewellery. These are just a few of my interests but I’m very happy to have different experiences and try new things.
My sisters and extended family are important to me, and family gatherings are something I value.
I'm now recruiting for people to join my team. There are multiple roles available, including a Key Worker position.
In the mix, I need one or two 'gal pals' so that I can get out and do women type stuff! Aside from that, a mixture of people from all walks of life is great for helping me build my best life.

Hours of Support:
Your hours of work will be determined once I decide whether you are a good match to support me both in my new home and in the community.
