Team Leader - Andrew

What program do you work in?

Fraser Coast in the Challenging Behaviours/Restrictive Practices Team.

What is your experience? I have worked in my current team for over two years. Previously I worked in Queensland Mental Health Services and volunteered with non-government organisations prompting, training and assisting in the recognition of Consumer and Carer Support and Rights.

What you enjoy about your job? I enjoy my role because it provides the opportunity to assist services users to improve their quality of life, assists in achieving their goals and building skills. I also enjoy that no day is the same and even though the role can be challenging at time the small ‘wins’ makes it rewarding.

What are your greatest skills? My greatest skill is being thorough, this allows me to going over the support I provide and ask is there something else I could be doing to help the client's quality of life.
