The People We Need — Blue Ribbon

We Need People Who Are Caring, Passionate & Positive

We Need People Who Are Creative, Resilient and Reliable

We need people who are creative and willing to come up with new ideas and experiences for the individuals that we support, allowing them to pursue their interests fully.

Supporting individuals can be incredibly rewarding for people with the right mindset. You will be making a difference to some of the most vulnerable people in society.

Creative

The individuals we support can display challenging behaviours. Although we will give our people detailed training, at the end of the day we need people who have the resilience to be positive, even after dealing with a demanding incident. You need to be able to deal positively with individuals irrespectively of how the individuals have treated you, you must be able to forgive and forget and not apportion blame.

Resilient

We need people who are reliable. Our shifts are designed to be longer so you can have more rest days in between work. Many of our staff will work a full working week over three days allowing them four days to pursue other interests and recharge batteries.

This is not a 9 to 5 job. We need people who arrive to their shifts on time as this allows their colleagues to leave on time. We cannot leave individuals without the correct level of support so a no show for a shift puts extra pressure on those coming off a shift. Colleagues must have respect and consideration for each other.
