female direct support worker in the office

Paola has been with Accuro Homecare since 2014. She came to us after completing her Cert III in Aged Care. Although she had spent 20 odd years in the hospitality industry previously, she has proven to be very passionate about working in disability and aged care.

Her friendly, open nature has made her popular with her clients and she is happy to take on extra work outside of her availability which, of course, makes the service team very happy. She has a particular interest palliative care, loves getting to know her clients and learns something new everyday."They can actually teach us something about our lives in general", says Paola.

Paola's advice for anyone looking to join the home care industry - "Be caring, be an easy person to talk to and be yourself".
