I have some very exciting news to share. I have officially been offered the position of Client Liaison Officer with Guide Dogs NSW/ACT. I will be working out of the Canberra office at Deakin. I am job sharing the role and have been employed on a casual basis. I will be doing administration and office work but also hope to get involved with client referral and community liaison work.
By doing the role on a casual basis I can keep up with my speaking role which is very important to me. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
Wiley has never worked in a office environment before but as all he has to do is get me there and then chill out while I work I am sure he will love it.
I am looking into getting some more adaptive equipment to help me fulfil the duties of my new role. They include JAWS which is screen reader software that works with windows based systems. Also a pearl camera and OCR software so I can scan printed documents. I think I might also upgrade my home computer to a windows based one so I can use the same system at work and home.
I can’t wait to get started 🙂
Congratulations!! That’s so brilliant!! I hope all goes very well and Wiley enjoys it all too!!
Thanks, I am really looking forward to getting more involved with Guide Dogs work here in Canberra.
Congratulations Jo! that’s brilliant! Hope all goes well for you and wiley!
Thank you, first day today a little nervous but excited more than anything else.
