**What our people love about working here**:
**A focus on purpose over profit**: As a not-for-profit organisation, our leaders and board care deeply about the vision. What’s in the best interests of older people always trumps profits. Everything goes back into the business. And everything you do has a meaningful impact in the local community.

**A supportive, passionate culture**: It’s a community filled with inspiring, big-hearted people. We back each other, listen without judgement and lead with kindness, respect and unwavering support - for our customers, residents and each other. This is encouraged from the top down and worked hard at - every day.

**Leaders who value you**: It’s important you feel valued. To us, this is not a one-off task. But a commitment to creating an environment where you feel seen, heard and valued - every day. Leaders and managers go out of their way to understand you, respect your opinions and hear what you have to say. This creates greater unity and collaboration with each other.

**Time for a life that matters**: We want you to feel part of our community, to have a place to belong, while respecting your life outside work.

Meaning, you’ll have the chance to move around, get promoted or explore different areas across our expanding business in Illawarra, Southern Highlands, Queanbeyan, and Canberra - if that’s what you want.
