My first job out of University - I worked here for 4 and a half years. I started by managing a venue calendar and organising weekly trips for older people in the former Leichhardt Local Government Area. This soon progressed to also coordinating social groups for adults with a disability and managing CHSP funded programs for older people in the inner west.The challenges of this role meant that no day was the same. I found the ability to work creatively, positively and with a focus on solutions and strength. Over the years, my group work skills evolved and felt more organic. I learnt to prioritise many different responsibilities, which included compliance, respite coordination, staffing ratios and managing conflict (just to name a few!) .It was here that I found and honed my skills for recruiting and empowering volunteers, which is easily one of my favourite skills. I have a passion for supporting independence and effective, sustainable support worker engagement. There is nothing I love more than seeing people grow and find happiness in what they are doing in the workplace and beyond!

I volunteered and assisted with meal serving, cleaning and food preparation for a few months after I had first volunteered here during the Christmas Lunch. I hope to head back here and help out soon.

I worked here for a long time while I studied for my Bachelor's degree. People tend to overlook retail, but I will never forget the conflict resolution skills, time management and good team building I learnt here over the years.
