Nanki Moloi
Social Worker
Summary
Diligent, passionate and committed registered professional Social Worker with almost 4 months experience working at an outpatient based harm reduction centre providing psycho-social and medical services to homeless people with a drug use disorder, mainly heroin. My demonstrated ability to collaborate with a multidisciplinary team as well as my compassion and drive with unfailing work ethic and passion for helping others spurs me to seek a social services agency opportunity to continue improving lives by advocating for the best interest of clients. I trust I am adequately equipped with skills to cope with plenty of challenges in the social work profession.
