Viv McDermott

Viv has worked at House with No Steps (HWNS) Summerland House Farm in Alstonville as a supported employee for 26 years. Vivienne has an intellectual disability and has worked in many different areas of Summerland House Farm, with her most recent role being in the canteen. She recently made the transition from supported employment to open or mainstream employment and is now following her dream of working as a support worker for HWNS Community Services. While Vivienne loved her job on the farm she has always dreamed of being a support worker and assisting other people with disabilities. Supported employment with an ADE such as House with No Steps was a critical stepping stone for Vivienne in achieving her dream job. Through supported employment she was able to develop important personal development and employment skills for the workplace.
