Jessica Bonniface, a trainer at Ƶ, considers herself a professional student; “I don’t think there has been a time in my life when I haven’t undertaken some sort of education and I enjoy being able to pass on my learning to others.” Currently teaching and (EVET) to year 11 and 12 students and facilitating workshops to trainees undertaking a Certificate III in Individual Support (Disability), Jessica’s role is to transfer the skills and knowledge she has acquired throughout her career to her students to help them achieve the qualification in their chosen field of study.

When asked why Jessica chose to teach at Ƶ she commented “I chose to teach at Atwea as the values of Ƶ are very much my own personal values, integrity, inclusion, and innovation. Atwea has so much to offer students from any walk of life or age group – be it skills training, learn for fun or high school.”

“My experience teaching at Ƶ has been great. I have lots of support available to me if I need it and I enjoy being able to share my knowledge with my students to help them achieve their goals and unlock their potential” says Jessica.

Jessica started her career in the 2000s, working in various Administration and Customer Service roles in the private and public sectors. After about 10 years, she decided to change paths to work as a support worker for people with disabilities, which led to the completion of a Certificate III in Individual Support. Once completed, Jessica started her own business providing in-home support to the elderly and people with disabilities while also working in an Aged Care Facility. Fast forward a few years, Jessica decided she would like to further her education so began studying a Bachelor of Nursing with the University of Newcastle. While currently employed as a Trainer with Ƶ, Jessica continues to run her own business and holds Assistant in Nursing Positions at both a Hospital and a Residential Aged Care Facility. Jessica will be finishing her Bachelor of Nursing degree at the end of 2021.
