Jake

Jacob comes to Ballarat Support Services with years of experience operating heavy machinery, working on major infrastructure projects, and following strict safety protocols. While his background has been in the construction industry, his decision to join the disability sector comes from a personal passion for helping others and a desire to work in a role that’s truly meaningful.

His practical mindset, reliability, and ability to work independently or as part of a team make him adaptable in a wide range of support situations. Jacob approaches his role with the same dedication he brought to construction — planning carefully, problem-solving on the spot, and ensuring the people he supports feel safe, respected, and encouraged.
