Galina
Professional Support Worker
"Hello, my name is Galina and I’ve been a support worker for 5 years. The idea of providing care for people who stay in their own space and comfort is something that always made sense to me. At the end of every shift, the feeling of satisfaction knowing I’ve helped a client in any way I can is very rewarding. Seeing a genuine smile on their faces and their thanks gives me a sense of reward."
Joy

"I have been working as a personal health care assistant for the past 6 years. My aim is to make clients feel good and happy about themselves. To make a positive impact in a client’s life and to have a good relationship with them is very rewarding to me. Being a support worker is a remarkable and rewarding job, it truly gives me a sense of purpose knowing that I am making a difference to someone's life."
Karla
Professional Support Worker
"I have been working around children and animals since young. I enjoy being around people of all aspects; not just someone with a disability. I listen to what they want and the goals they wish to achieve. Being a support worker means I am there as a friend and not just a worker. To know that I am helping someone to be happier in their life makes me happy. It is so impacting to make someone laugh and feel better about themselves."
Megan S
Professional Support Worker
"I became a disability support worker because I wanted to work alongside people in the community and help to make a difference in their lives. It is great when you can see how your care is helping the participant to reach their goals. I find respite particularly rewarding as you know you are not only helping the participant but also their primary caregivers."
Sakaria
Professional Support Worker
"I became a disability support worker as it is a very rewarding career as I can work with many different people. This career allows me to help others in empowering themselves and supporting them in what they want to be. My goal is for them to achieve their desired goals."
