On the recent Aussie census I put secretary because that's my official title - I'm actually an admin assistant but their pay rates are much higher so I get the lowly secretary title and wage. Bloody Government!!!
I was working for a Domiciliary Therapy Team - a group of health professionals who go to people's homes to treat them in podiatry, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology, and dietetics. I did all their admin.
I am going back to work next week (after maternity leave) and I will be doing a slightly different job then - admin support for a Rapid Response group who have staff in emergency rooms, councils, rehabilitation centres, Dom teams, assessment teams, etc, who identify elderly people at risk and get them plugged into services that will hopefully stop them from turning up in emergency rooms in terrible shape.
I love the job because I work in an rundown house on the grounds of a hospital and all the other staff are out during the day - I'm there by myself so I can surf the 'net, talk to myself, pick my nose, slack off, etc, etc!
But up till next week, I guess I'm a
Senior Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations
... plus chef, chaffeur, fashion consultant, hairdresser, manicurist, nurse, psychiatrist, entertainer, swimming coach, and lost sock finder. Best job in the world!!!
