00:00:01,136 --> 00:00:04,431
When I finished school I went to work
in the cafe over the summer.
2
00:00:04,478 --> 00:00:07,132
A person with learning disabilities
was also working there.
3
00:00:07,132 --> 00:00:11,708
When I saw this person being supported
it was very different to what I imagined.
4
00:00:11,778 --> 00:00:15,705
It made me think about changing
career and seeking to work
5
00:00:15,705 --> 00:00:18,548
with people with learning
disabilities. And that's what I did.
6
00:00:19,441 --> 00:00:23,864
Currently at my job, I'm delivering in a lot
of training to frontline support workers.
7
00:00:23,864 --> 00:00:26,997
It's more than meeting people's physical
needs, it's about making sure that
8
00:00:26,997 --> 00:00:30,929
people are happy and healthy and they're
doing meaningful and purposeful activities.
9
00:00:32,167 --> 00:00:36,582
I like to see people learning new skills
so they can gain independence.
10
00:00:36,878 --> 00:00:42,142
That has a result and their happiness,
quality of life and confidence.
11
00:00:42,182 --> 00:00:47,172
I'd say that would be the best aspect,
that's why I do the role I do.
12
00:00:47,756 --> 00:00:51,421
It's just an amazing job. If you have
a can-do attitude and the passion
13
00:00:51,421 --> 00:00:56,215
to work with people with disabilities,
you can change their lives.
