Following advertising, short listing and interview the Selection Panel were unanimous in selecting Kim Hopkins for the Access Program Coordinator position. Kim was offered the position on Wednesday 24 November which he gladly accepted.
The program is supported by NSW Department Of Community Services and is a joint venture with Central Coast Sheds and will run for 3 years. Kim's appointment is for 3 days a week and it is anticipated that he will formallyenter on duty in the first or second week of December.
His role will be to work with Central Coast Disabilities Service providers and Sheds, to provide direction for the Cluster and individual Sheds to develop programs that provide social space in a workshop environment for men with disabilities and men who are socially isolated.
He will be aiming to foster partnerships with disability providers and Sheds, coordinate training in disability access initiatives and negotiate the acceptance of men with identified needs into Sheds.
Kim now wears 2 hats with his current role as Cluster Development Worker as well as the Access Program Coordinator so apart from being kept very busy he expects to be able to blend the roles together so that both benefit and more positive results are achieved. Kim will continue to be based in the Tuggerah Lakes Community Centre (when he's not on the road between Sheds and meetings) so his contact details remain the same.
