Nurdin, a recent graduate from NTU with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, began his career journey at HCSA Highpoint in September 2021, driven by his passion for supporting ex-offenders.
Initially serving as a case worker, he concentrated on securing accommodation for 10-15 clients. Over time, his responsibilities expanded to operations, wherein he now supervises the recovery process and upholds discipline within the shelter. This entails interacting with residents by extending support, and delivering counselling sessions.
Nurdin underscores the significance of encouragement and persuasion in his role, especially in inspiring clients to pursue employment opportunities and commit to long-term planning.
Despite occasional disillusionment, he remains committed to his purpose and strives to tailor his approach to meet each client’s unique needs and circumstances.
HCSA Community Services extends our sincere gratitude to all staff and volunteers in supporting our ex-offender peers.
