  May 2021 - Present - Hervey Bay, Queensland, Australia

  At CPL, the focus is on the client and their goals. I engage in conversations with the client, personal care routines, meal preparations and cooking, cleaning, shopping, and community outings with clients. I also work within Mylestones Solutions working with the School Leaver Employment Supports (SLES) program. I have worked with five clients through SLES where I am helping them increase their skills and be prepared for work. I have worked with a range of individuals with different disabilities including cerebral palsy, acquired brain injury, autism, intellectual disabilities, and an amputee. I have worked with clients with challenging behaviours and restrictive practices in place. I have experience working with floor hoists, ceiling hoists, manual handling, medications, and PEG. I have had shifts ranging from short (1 hour) to longer single shifts (6 hours), early morning to late night shifts. I currently have multiple clients and shifts within a day.
