Testimonials
Having worked closely alongside Kerrianne, I can attest to her excellence and talent as a mental health support worker. Kerrianne displays great kindness, patience and empathy when delivering care, which is evidenced by the meaningful, respectful and professional relationships she has built with her clients. Possessing a sound theoretical and practical knowledge of mental health, Kerrianne is able to explain concepts and ideas to her clients in a straightforward, relatable way based on their intellectual capacity. When working with clients, Kerrianne goes above and beyond; her genuine care for and investment in her clients is apparent when, for example, she completes tasks such as meal planning, letter writing and activity preparation outside of work hours.Kerrianne is extremely reliable and organised, and is always on time. She is a strong team player and effortlessly steps into a leadership role when it is necessary and appropriate to do so. Kerrianne possesses outstanding verbal and written communication skills, and is always prompt with her responses to all communications from fellow staff as well as clients and their families. After observing her interactions with high risk and complex individuals for several months, I commend Kerrianne for her emotional resilience, positive attitude and ability to maintain composure during a crisis. Due to her strong skill set, compassionate nature and sincere desire to positively influence other people’s lives, there is not a support worker I would recommend more highly than Kerrianne.Tara Spencer, Senior Support Worker
