Jordan Randazzo

Social Worker
27Years old
Jordan is an Australian Accredited Social Worker (AASW), starting out as a residential care worker in Department group homes while studying his Masters. Not long after obtaining his qualifications, Jordan moved overseas to Cambodia as an international sustainability manager for a not-for profit, his main focus was on program and financial sustainability, as he puts it – a form of economic social work. With Cambodia cut short due to covid, Jordan returned and worked as a case manager/child protection worker in Mandurah for both a non-government organisation and for the department of child protection and family support. While thoroughly enjoying the work, often feeling challenged as well as supported, Jordan felt his work in Cambodia was unfinished and made the move back this year.
