Meet the team: Jack Lindsay

Meet Jack from Cairns!  For the last 6 months he has held the role of key worker for supported independent living (SIL) and medication compliance.

SIL is an NDIS support package delivered by selectability designed to help a person with a disability live as independently as possible while building their skills.

A part of Jack’s role is to oversee medication compliance across 13 SIL properties in the Cairns region, providing support and training to employees where needed.

“I provide training to SIL staff on proper medication chart completion, procedural adherence, and compliance within the lifestyle support worker role,” said Jack.

“Furthermore, I conduct audits of SILs to ensure accurate medication charting and assess property compliance, including up-to-date safety data sheet documentation.

A crucial role, Jack’s day-to-day work ensures the correct procedures are in place so that our consumers can receive high quality services through SIL.

Above this, it is his dedication to his passions and previous work experience that give him his unique devotion to his role.

“Before I worked with selectability, I was an enrolled nurse in a dementia ward for 18 months, where I also trained staff in their caregiver roles.

“I would say, the most gratifying aspect of my current position is establishing connections with the SIL team company-wide, enabling me to effectively work and train staff.

“Overcoming the challenge of mastering medication audits has been pivotal, as it wasn’t something I had a lot of experience in.

While Jack is new to his role with selectability, his ongoing work to ensures best practice service for our consumers in the Cairns region.

With this is an utmost dedication to care that gives him the foundations for professional growth.

“Looking forward, my career aspirations involve advancing to the role of compliance/trainer for both SILs and child safety.”
