Meet the team: Jireh Scheurwater

Meet Jireh – he has been working for selectability for the last 10 months and has most recently taken on the role of practice supervisor. As a part of this role, Jireh works with frontline employees with a common goal of supporting their consumers through the delivery of best practice psychosocial supports.

Born on Thursday Island, Jireh prides himself as a family orientated man with aa strong passion for supporting the wellbeing of others.

This initially led him to selectability through the role of Lifestyle Support Worker, before joining the support coordination team

“We work in a special space with our consumers that has many challenges at times but there is a lot of personal reward that comes with that,” said Jireh.

“The ripple effect of the difference we make in our work is special.”

With a 13-year background in social justice and pastoral care, Jireh is currently working toward his degree in psychological science.

In his spare time, Jireh enjoys spending time with his family and indulging in his hobbies.

“I'm easygoing and just as happy out in the bush camping with family and friends or sitting around a table playing nerdy games like Dungeons and Dragons.

“I love playing in a band and dabbling in standup comedy but I am happy to retreat into a good book, just as long as there is coffee!”

Based in Cairns, Jireh’s strong passion for helping others makes him a great addition to selectability and our comprehensive approach to supporting the wellbeing of our workforce.

“Whether our employees wish to talk about how they are going in their role, where they might need to unpack some things, or want to know how to be the best version of themselves for our consumers, practice supervision is there to provide support.”
