  Being a relief worker in the Peter McVerry Trust carries great responsibility but with great reward. As part of an extensive network, we as relief are called upon to assist individuals and families that have fallen into homelessness and assist them on a daily basis towards a brighter future. Homelessness is an unfortunate but temporary situation so it is important to be a person of empathy in this professional role as you are working in a sensitive environment. Day to day tasks include linking in with a client's housing and medical supports, service maintenance and assistance for a service user's daily tasks. The job role requires strong team building and communication skills as well as organisational. Proficient skill in Microsoft Office is acquired as well as navigation in SalesForce. Communication in this role is paramount as it makes the job role smoother for you and other staff that may be coming on shift in a particular service. My years of experience in this role make me a valued member of the relief line and allows me to help those that are newer into the job that may need supports adapting to a complex and sensitive new role.

  I was employed on a part time basis as a sales associate for the Christmas period. With it being the busiest period of the year, pressure to manage the store front and simultaneously meet sales targets was at an all time high. As a sales associate, my typical working day would be to manage stock levels within the store, maintain the high visual standards that the store boasts as well as maintain the also high standards of excellent customer service within the company. The customer's optimum satisfaction is the number one priority so it is essential that one remains vigilant in the job and pushes the extra mile by undertaking necessary outstanding tasks without needing instruction. Team communication and relationship building is also essential in this job in order to create a strong and smooth workflow model. Show less
