My past careers have included graphic design and floristry – but I am convinced that support work is my calling. I come alive at the thought of delivering person-centred care in order to facilitate empowerment, independence and wellbeing for all people. The people I support describe me as compassionate, proficient, diligent, patient and warm.
Pleased to meet you I’m Lauren,
a disability support worker in Geelong.
I have 3.5 years full time experience supporting a diverse range of people across the disability & aged sectors:
• autism
• ADHD
• psychosocial disability
• intellectual disability
• mobility disability
• Angelman syndrome
• vision impairment
• dementia
• stroke
• DiGeorge syndrome
• Parkinsons
• diabetes
• ABI
I am half way through the Diploma of Dementia Care with the Wicking Dementia Centre (University of Tasmania), the national leader in dementia education and research. I’m finding it immeasurably interesting and applicable across my disability support and aged care practice.
In my spare time I love hanging out with my deaf Border Collie, Blossom who is a retired Delta therapy dog. I enjoy learning new things, gardening and making spaces beautiful and functional.
If you would like to chat or arrange a free meet and greet, please get in touch. I look forward to meeting you!
