Maryjo started working with CLRS in April 2021 as a Direct Support Professional, right in the middle of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Maryjo joined a residential team supporting clients to live as independently as possible within a supported accommodation house.
Maryjo spent 17 years working in hospitality before making the move to disability. She had a friend who worked as a Support Coordinator and could see how rewarding it was.
While there have been challenges that come with the role, she has learnt so much and is really enjoying the role. She provides great support to those whom she works with.
Most recently CLRS supported Maryjo to complete a traineeship in Certificate IV Disability as part of her career development.
