Meet Lyndoch Living team member Rachel who describes herself as bubbly and outgoing.
Growing up, Rachel remembers her grandmother being in aged care and the many caring people who supported her grandmother when she was unwell. Her mum was very appreciative of their care. This experience stuck with Rachel throughout the years and inspired her to pursue a career where she could give back.
When Rachel came across a hospitality position advertised at Lyndoch Living, she took it as the perfect opportunity to get her foot in the door. Working with the Café Connect team, Rachel said, ‘it was a great starting point’. With her passion ignited, Rachel completed a Diploma in Community Services.
When an opportunity as the Coordinator for the Living@Home Meals area presented itself, Rachel jumped at the chance and successfully secured the role. Empowered to grow and learn, this role motivated her to help individuals living within our community.
Continuing to build her skills through study, Rachel has almost completed a Bachelor of Human Services, and her dedication has paid off. She is now a Support Advisor within the Home Care Package team.
“The experience of working within the Living@Home Meals area highlighted to me the importance of empowering our ageing community. It also taught me valuable skills that I have been able to transfer across into my new role,” Rachel said.
Already, Rachel has learnt about all the various services clients can access, has been out on home visits, and has enjoyed building relationships with new clients. She is excited to continue growing in her career and helping people to live happily and safely in their homes.
When she isn’t at work or studying, Rachel loves her cars, being out on her family farm, and spending time with her daughter.
Thanks for sharing Rachel!
