Description
I have vast experience in support work, working with various categories of vulnerable people through duties that range from individual and family support, to outreach work. I have also worked with various charitable organisations in a voluntary capacity. Through this work and my undergraduate studies, I have developed vital skills such as effective communication and time management among others.
I find supporting vulnerable individuals very fulfilling. Of course, there are bad days like in any other job and I've had my fair share of challenges. However, on good days, caring is very satisfying; putting smiles on people's faces and making a positive difference in someone's life is priceless and incredible.
