Making a difference: The rewarding path of being a support worker

Live Well Podcast | Health and Wellbeing Journeys in Regional, Rural & Remote areas

In this podcast we speak to one of integratedliving’s wonderful Support Workers, Katrina.
Find out the poignant reason Katrina decided to pursue a career in aged care and why she thinks supporting older people is the best job in the world.

Katrina feels it is a privilege to care for her clients and shares many anecdotes of special moments she’s shared with people. I am confident that these moments will stay with you long after this podcast has finished.

The transformative power of genuine care and friendship infuse Katrina’s story and you will be inspired by her passion for her role and the way she has been able to make a real difference in so many lives.
