Since working with Just Better
Care, Krystan has found that living with disability herself means she
can quickly empathise with her customers. It often breaks down barriers when talking to people living with disability and their families. When customers realise, the shared experience can make it easier to open-up about their needs and concerns.
As she approaches a decade with Just Better Care, Krystan says it is the chance the company took on her that she’s always been impressed with.
“Just Better Care really invested in me, and I’ve believed in them,” she says.
Her best advice for anyone living
with disability and looking for work is to not give up.
“It took me quite a few years to get accepted in a job I was excited to do. No one should think that, because they live with a disability, they can’t find a job they enjoy,” she says. “It might take a while, but eventually you’ll get a call back and be just the person they are looking for. The perfect fit.”
Her career continues to scale new heights. In a couple of weeks, Krystan begins a new role at Just Better Care working with the NDIS and the Queensland Community Care Services to organise the best care for the region.
