Meet Jacob!
Team Manager
Hello!
About Jacob
I enjoy spending quality time with my family and friends, I have always been a very active and sporty person. I love watching a wide range of sports and participating whenever I can, particularly Basketball.
I am compassionate, conscientious, driven, and loyal. These qualities naturally led me to pursue a career in support work. With a background in psychology and sociology, I recognised the opportunity to combine my academic knowledge with my genuine care for others. I am passionate about building authentic, trusting relationships and supporting individuals to broaden their opportunities and enhance their quality of life in ways that are meaningful to them.
As Team Manager, I am responsible for overseeing employee management, rostering, and client communications. I take pride in ensuring our team feels supported, valued, and well equipped, while also maintaining clear, professional, and responsive communication with the individuals and families we work alongside.
My approach to support is person centred and strengths based. I believe every individual has unique abilities and potential, and my role is to empower them to build confidence, independence, and meaningful outcomes aligned with their goals.
