3 Welcome to the team! We are thrilled to have you on board, brining your skills and passion to enhance the livers of people who receive care from West Coast Homecare. Here’s to a long journey of making a positive impact together! Welcome to the Team Employee Spotlight Name: Linda Symonds Start date: April 2022 Job title: Home Care Coordinator Location: Cummins Brief overview of your role: Meet with valued members of our Community in Cummins to coordinate services and equipment to ensure people remain in their own homes safely and independently for longer. What drew you to this role and how did you get started in this field: Trained in Aged Care working long term in Residential Care, previous experience managing Day Centre and providing Leisure and Lifestyle to the older people. This enabled me to combine my knowledge, and work with people with disability while also working in the pharmacy. For the past 40 years I’ve had more than 1 job at a time. I felt aged care and disability was the natural progression and journey for myself. I believe the experience I have gained during the past 15 years plus has enabled me to see all aspects of aged care and disability. The knowledge I have gained has enabled me to provide the best care and opportunities for consumers in Cummins and the greater region. Coordinating services and equipment through my role with West Coast Homecare aims to keep folks at home safe and independent for longer. I find this career rewarding and satisfying as it enables people to reside at home with family, pets and maintains the routines they are accustomed to is fantastic. What is your favourite part about your job and why: Meeting consumers, have them share their stories, listening to their life values, the hard times & sometimes the most vulnerable is a privilege. The sharing of moments and memories, I feel is very precious and I do feel honoured to be able to work so closely with Consumers. What are 3 fun facts about you: 1. Pork is my favourite 2. Love fresh flowers – always brightens up a room and makes you feel good 3. Don’t mind ripping a skid in the paddock when hubby’s not looking!
