Erwin brings over five years of Support Worker Experience to CPSN and our clients. He supports a client in our Independent Living home.

He enjoys making our clients’ daily life activities more comfortable and fulfilling.

Erwin says although the Disability Support work industry can be challenging at times, he loves what he does and urges others who want to work in the industry to give it a go. Do your best, ensure you look after your client well, and when away from work, also ensure that you take the time to look after yourself too.                                                                                                                                                                                                      

Outside of work Erwin enjoys exercising and connecting with nature, especially flora and fauna.

Georgia Schofield brings over five years of experience to the CPSN Support Worker team, where she works with our Clients in their Independent Living Home.

She is still working with her very first client, with whom she has built a strong and happy working relationship with him and his family over the years. Georgia says one of most important parts about being a Support Worker is doing things together, rather than for the clients she works with.

The job takes patience, love, empathy, values for respect, dignity and independence. A little bit of love and kindness goes a long way to helping individuals to live the life they want to live.

Away from work, Georgia loves spending time with family and friends, traveling and eating yummy food.
