If there is a lock to be fixed or a wall to be patched at Caboolture Hospital, first-year Apprentice Carpenter Jasmine is on the job. 🔨👷
To support the safe and smooth operation of facilities used by staff and patients every day, Jasmine helps to maintain essential infrastructure across the hospital.
“I assist with maintaining different parts of the hospital and that can be anything from moving and installing furniture to fixing doors, locks or windows, patching walls or completing small upgrades to offices and rooms,” Jasmine said.
Jasmine says resilience and self-belief have helped her push forward in her new career, as well as the support from the Building, Engineering and Maintenance Services (BEMS) team.
“They have a wealth of knowledge and it’s awesome to work alongside such strong and resilient women who encourage me to keep pushing myself and getting better every day," she said, of her role models in the BEMS team.
“It’s an awesome feeling to look back at the end of the day and see what you’ve completed. It’s even better knowing that the projects I help finish improve this facility and make people’s lives a little easier, no matter how small.”
So proud of you!
