Our Team
We have an amazing team who are dedicated and passionate about the services we provide and the people we work alongside. We are close knit and our family focused approach is implemented throughout our organisation. All our staff have hands on experience combined with a wealth of professional knowledge gained from caring for their own family members and involvement in the Social Services Sector, Legal Sector, Business Sector and Health Sector.
We have also been involved in the development of the Carer’s Strategy working alongside the Carer’s Alliance and Aotearoa Māori Carer’s Network. We are all committed to our company’s vision:
“To lead the development and implementation of innovative, quality focused models of home and community-based care, support and rehabilitation.”
Our staff are our greatest resource and working in partnership is the essence of our programme. It also underpins our mission:
“Our mission is to work in partnership with our clients and their family members to empower them to achieve their unique goals of well-being by providing quality care and support in a safe and nurturing environment.”
Our Team collaborates closely with our clients and their family / support network to develop, implement, and evolve their rehabilitation and care programmes. Many of our employees have been with us for a number of years and we appreciate their commitment to the work we do caring for Whānau.
