Get to know Alison, our Family Services Practitioner in TAS 💛
"I was inspired to work in Foster Care by a fellow worker, Kim, who spoke of how she loved her job and encouraged me to apply because she thought that I would be good at it. So thank you, Kim! I had no idea what to expect but now that I am a few months in, I have no regrets for swapping a long term teaching job to my current role as a Family Services Practitioner.
My proudest moment was when a resistant carer told me that she was pleased she had signed up with Baptistcare. Thanks to Rachel B for also being a part of that achievement. Working as a team, even though we are assigned carers, is another benefit of the job. We are never alone.
I love trying to make a difference for carers and their children in care. Each day has a new challenge, and a new frustration at times, but I feel there are more wins than set backs!"
