What’s your role at Just Support?
Hi there! I’m Vanessa, and I’ve been enriching lives here as a support worker for over a year now. I specialize in supporting children and young people, focusing on academic studies, social skills, and active community participation. The best part? Our team’s wonderfully queer-friendly and nerdy vibe—it really makes Just Support feel like home.
What inspired your transition into support work?
With a strong background in education, I felt a deep calling to help others more directly. Transitioning to support work was a natural step, allowing me to leverage my skills to make a meaningful impact in the lives of young people.
What aspect of your work do you find most fulfilling?
The most fulfilling part of my job is seeing the real impact we make on our clients’ lives—helping them pursue their NDIS goals in ways that are fun and self-driven is incredibly rewarding. It’s all about making support feel empowering and enjoyable.
What hobbies enrich your life outside of work?
Outside of work, I’m all about Dungeons and Dragons and environmental conservation. These passions not only fuel my personal joy but also enhance my professional approach by bringing creativity and a sense of stewardship into my interactions.
Can you describe your approach to client sessions?
My sessions are relaxed and centered around the client’s preferences. I focus on creating a supportive atmosphere where they feel comfortable to explore and express themselves freely, ensuring the support provided is as effective as it is enjoyable.
What unique qualities do you bring to the Just Support team?
I blend a strong educational foundation with a laid-back, engaging style. This unique mix allows me to meet educational and social development goals in a way that clients not only benefit from but also genuinely enjoy.
