“I feel 110% proud to wear the HealthShare NSW label on my work shirt. Working at HealthShare makes me feel like being part of a family. I really like my managers and my work team, they are all good people and very friendly with me. I love my job because I like to keep busy and get to meet new people and get life experiences.”
‘I feel responsible now because I earn my own salary and can pay board to help my parents. I am very, very happy to live at home with my family. I have a plan in my head to save money to buy my own home one day. I am so happy because not many people my age have such a great job.
John’s supervisor Monica Platt is delighted to have John as part of the team.
“John helps us in lots of different ways. He does a range of tasks, including buttering bread for sandwiches, delivering sandwiches to the clinical wards, and filling water cups for tea breaks, lunch and dinners,” said Monica. “John has a task schedule which he follows to a ‘T’ and performs them with pride. We don’t know what we would do without John.”
