Our Values

Do the right thing

Play an important role in creating a safe environment for the people we support and colleagues. Speak the truth. Treat people with dignity and respect.

Make a difference

Support and encourage people with the things that are important to them. Assist people to develop relationships, to get a job, to try new things or build their confidence. Make sure that every day your work has purpose and impact.

Take responsibility

Take ownership of your work, learning and development. Learn from mistakes and always do your best.

Challenge the status quo

We don’t believe in doing things just because ‘that’s the way they’ve always been done’. If things aren’t working for the people we support we want our teams to speak up and challenge this.

Look at the world from different perspectives

See the world through someone else’s eyes. Consider other points of view. Listen to what’s not being said and learn new ways to communicate with people.

Find joy in the ordinary

Celebrate everyday achievements. Focus on what’s important in life. Love your work.
