Getting the support you need to realise your potential
Whatever work you do and wherever you do it, you do it better if you have a solid support network behind you. Family, friends, work colleagues and neighbours can all be active or silent partners in your wellbeing – people you can call on or maybe just take strength from knowing that they are there.
The people who work in our sector are fantastic at supporting others – precisely the people you would want in your own support network. The irony here however is that your strength in offering support can sometimes mean your own needs get overlooked.
Professional members’ organisations – made up of like-minded individuals working in the same industry – can enhance your skill-set and complement your networks of support.
If you work (or are preparing to work) in the disability sector, National Disability Practitioners (NDP) is your professional association. Our community consists of more than 13,000 members, who, like you, are committed to supporting others. In return, we are dedicated to supporting you with information, development opportunities and resources to help foster your career, recognise your contributions and make the right connections.
Whatever it is you do in the disability sector, by joining NDP you will be more equipped, informed and appreciated – all set to thrive in a challenging and rewarding professional environment. We are connected to some of the best resources available in the community sector, including NDS, the organisation also behind carecareers.
