I\u2019ve worked as an advertising executive for Channel Nine, a teacher\u2019s aid and now here! I initially applied for the job because it provides me with work\/life balance so I can be there for my young family, but have continued in the role for the love of it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What has it been like working in such a vital role during a global pandemic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been so rewarding to be able to put my hand up and help out during a crisis. As a team, we all had a shared vision we were working towards which kept us motivated. I loved being able to continue to come to work during lockdown \u2013 it kept me distracted from what was happening across the rest of the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your favourite part about your job?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Definitely the people. From the day I walked through the door, my manager Gordon has shown me the ropes and been patient, kind and professional leader for the entire team. I also love being at the entrances providing hand sanitiser to staff entering and exiting the hospital. It\u2019s a nice opportunity for me to interact with people I see around a lot but haven\u2019t had a chance to talk to before.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our touchpoint cleaning team have been doing an incredible job keeping RBWH sparkling clean and COVID-safe!
