Social Work role, particularly within the field of eldercare
I immigrated to NZ in 2002, from Zimbabwe. I am a NZ citizen.
Mum of three adult children and grandmother of 5 (almost 7) beautiful grandies.
I’m a registered Social worker with many years experience , predominantly within the field of eldercare. Most recently, I was employed, full time, by the Waikato DHB for , as a Clinical Social Worker in the Older Persons and Rehabilitation wards. I am passionate about dementia care.
At present I am studying part time, extramurally, towards a Counselling (Grief and Loss) Diploma, with ICI.
I am seeking a Social Work role, preferably within a clinical setting, however, will consider other suitable Social Work / Counselling roles. Would also consider an in-house SW or managerial role (with training), in the elder, residential care sector.
On a side- note, I am an acrylic pouring and assemblage artist.
