Starting my career in Childrens Services, almost 16years ago in Alice Springs NT, my
knowledge of Child Management/Development and Behaviours, experience with building
positive and culturally appropriate relationships with a variety of cultures and diverse socio-
demographic families as an Early Educator, Team Leader, Centre Director and Early
Intervention Centre Manager (managing a multi-dis team providing therapy and education in a
childcare setting to children with Autism), has prepared me for a multitude of skills desirable for
these positions.
I believe it is of the utmost importance to work collaboratively with teams, families and
community services to ensure the best outcomes for children, using effective communication
and planning to support families with strategies and interventions that endeavour to ethically
strengthen families capacity to provide safe environments.
Supporting families with children with autism in the community and sourcing networks for
appropriate services, including disability inclusion supports for mainstream environments, has
given me networking knowledge of the wider health/community services.
Having also worked in the sector for so long I am very familiar with Legislation, Mandatory
Reporting requirements and processes, families and children at risk, cultural awareness,
inclusion support and assisting Foster Families in the transition to and from paternal care.
I am excited about the opportunity to be interviewed for employment in the South Australian
Government Child Protection Sector and furthering my knowledge, experience and
development in the area of Family and Childrens Services.
Thankyou for you consideration.
