Corinne's story

After finishing school, Corinne worked at a special needs summer camp in America, where she fell in love with the feeling of helping others and experiencing the joy they felt. “Working one on one with clients, helping them achieve their goals is extremely rewarding, you can really see the positive impact it has on their lives.”

In her role with Programmed, Corinne primarily supports our client Katie, helping her get ready for the day, providing personal care and assisting with medication. Together they plan out Katie’s day, often involving access to the community and attending appointments.

A highlight has been assisting clients go on dream holidays such as seeing the Northern lights in Norway, “a pretty spectacular day at the office.”
