Terry joined EPIC at the end of 2022. He brings with him experience as a support worker, TTW case manager, social worker alongside men exiting prison, and coordinator of the Grandparents Raising Children program. Terry enjoys providing assistance to people who need a little support to reach their self-directed goals in life, with an employment focus. He believes employment provides diverse opportunities, such as community access and social inclusion, financial benefits, and engagement with the broader community. He walks alongside the job seeker to gain an idea of their goals and assists them to identify and locate sustainable and engaging roles. Terry and his partner are new permanent foster parents to an amazing teenager. Their spare time is spent supporting him to settle into their home and develop routines while they all get to know each other better.
