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 Christian disability support worker in Geelong.
I have three years full time experience supporting a diverse range of people across the disability & aged sectors:
ABI
dementia
autism
stroke
Angelman syndrome
DiGeorge syndrome
Parkinsons
diabetes
vision impairment
mobility
psychosocial and
intellectual disability.
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 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 here. I look forward to meeting you!
