What part of your role gives you a sense that you’re making a difference at Valley?

The part of my role where I feel I make the biggest difference is in ensuring we have a capable, well-supported workforce that provides, active, thorough, and compassionate support to our participants.

Valley is in a unique position to be able to provide a whole range of supports to our participants – whether it’s accommodation, daily tasks, skills development, employment and more. Ensuring we have the right people to support participants across these fields, and ensuring a positive culture of collaboration across teams, results in good outcomes across the board.

I like to celebrate the accomplishments of our workforce in supporting our participants. Many of our participants biggest achievements in life wouldn’t be possible without the support of our dedicated staff, and our staff should share in those successes.

My role also ensures that we meet and exceed all our regulatory requirements in providing NDIS services. This is something I’m passionate about, to guarantee that the right systems and processes are in place to ensure the delivery of quality services across the board to our clients.

Why is supporting people with disability and their families important to you?

Working together, we can ensure that those with a disability, and their families, live the best life possible. Whether it’s finding joy, satisfaction, or fulfilment, or maintaining a person’s dignity, there is a chance to make a meaningful difference in someone’s life. Working closely with families allows us provide fulfilling services that enhances peoples’ lives.

What’s one thing you’re proud to be part of at Valley?

I’m proud of the commitment of our workforce to making a difference. Every day I get to see staff going the extra mile to empower our participants. The difference this makes to our client’s lives is clear and obvious and makes me proud to work here every day.
