What is your role at Your Side and how do you think it will improve client care and services?

I am a Home Care Package Consultant at Your Side. As a social worker, I have always wanted to help others and Your Side has provided me with the opportunity to work with the elderly community of Australia. My role involves making care plans, home visits, assessments, allocating budget and overall helping elderly people live easier and ensure they are happy with quality services.

Why did you join Your Side?

I was on student placement at Your Side and never expected that I would be given an opportunity to be part of this diverse team. I immediately started working after I finished my placement. As a social worker, I have always wanted to work in a not-for-profit organisation helping a diverse community and Your Side fulfill this. It is also a place where I can further expand my knowledge of Aged Care.
