Renee Hesford from our Osborne Park Neighbourhood is a real superstar in everything she does. And her outstanding efforts most certainly don’t go unnoticed by the people surrounding her. That’s why Renee not only got nominated once but twice this month by people who think the Community Engager is simply AWESOME.
As the mother of a person we support and a support worker herself Mandy Daniel is giving a shout-out to all the great support workers out there and the wonderful work they do.
I have witnessed people with disabilities out in the community with their support workers, and the look on their faces of being included radiates joy - it's amazing. I wanted to be one of those fabulous people who brings that look to someone’s face.
Amanda Crawford has been with Interchange for almost 10 years, and never ceases to impress the people we support, their families and guardians, and the Interchange team around her.
Dean has only been supported by Interchange for a few months but with the help of his support worker Joy he has been kicking one goal after the other.
Joy has been working with Interchange for almost 2 years, helping the people she supports work towards attaining the perfect job for them. She is an absolute superstar when it comes to helping people discover their own unique skills and talents, and then identify, or even create, a job or small business that fits them perfectly.
Support legend Vanessa from our Rockingham Neighbourhood began her journey with Interchange almost 2 years ago. The support worker is well known to go above and beyond her job role, tailoring her support exactly to each individual to make sure every person gets the best service possible and achieves their personal goals.
