PLACEMENT CONSULTANT

Jenny Grant | B.Com (FLM)

Prior to joining Relacs, Jenny worked for nearly 20 years within the aged care industry.

Her most recent role as Care Manager gave her the opportunity to work with families requiring placement for their loved one in permanent or respite care. Jenny’s involvement in this process allowed her to walk the journey with families as they progressed from the initial enquiry with the facility, all the way through to settling their loved one into their new home. It was this aspect of her work that she particularly enjoyed so in November 2012, Jenny joined Relacs so her time could be devoted to helping families find the right facility and make informed choices about their options.
