Why I enjoy working at TASC


My name is Rodney and I am employed as an Advocacy Worker, this means I will be trained as Tenancy Advocate as well as my current role as a Disability Advocate. My previous experience has been in Disability Employment in Toowoomba, prior to this I spent most of my life in South West Queensland and North Western New South Wales managing sheep and cattle properties.

I started with TASC in December 2008, a big part of my role is to provide advocacy to people with P300 funding, also anyone with a disability require help. I love working at TASC because I get great satisfaction through being in a position to help people help themselves. It is a wonderful feeling to go home after work knowing you have helped change a person’s life for the better. This is made possible with the help of the great team of people at TASC I work with.

I find TASC is very innovatively managed, with lots of opportunity for professional development provided. The nine day fortnight and flexible hours are beneficial to fit work around family. I love the opportunities at TASC to take on other projects with the support of the organisation to help bring them to fruition.
