Nathan’s Journey With Us

Nathan started his career with us as a support worker in 2021. From the beginning, it was clear that he had a natural talent for connecting with participants and making a positive impact in their lives. His dedication and compassion quickly made him a valued member of our team.

As Nathan continued to grow in his role, he was promoted to Senior Support Worker. In this position, Nathan not only provided excellent care to participants but also began to take on leadership responsibilities. His ability to mentor and guide other support workers demonstrated his potential for even more significant roles within our organisation.

Recognising his skills, Nathan soon volunteered to help out with rostering. This experience gave him valuable insights into the operational side of our services, and it was here that we first noticed his exceptional organisational abilities. Nathan’s knack for planning and ability to work well with others made him a natural fit for more complex operational tasks.

A Natural Leader and Cultural Fit

Over time, Nathan took on the role of Operational Assistant, where he continued to impress us with his strong work ethic and positive attitude. Nathan’s ability to collaborate with his colleagues and his commitment to our organisation’s values have made him a great cultural fit. His infectious enthusiasm and fun personality have also contributed to a supportive and enjoyable workplace environment. Given his background, it’s no surprise that Nathan has now taken on the role of Activities Coordinator. His journey with us has been one of continuous growth, and we are confident that he will bring the same level of dedication and passion to his new role.

More Than Just a Coordinator

Outside of work, Nathan is a dedicated family man. He’s a proud dad to four children and finds time to give back to the community as a weekend soccer coach. Nathan’s passion for fitness is evident in his participation in marathons, where he’s demonstrated the same perseverance and commitment that he brings to his work. His ability to balance these roles while maintaining a positive and energetic approach to his job makes him an exceptional leader and role model.
