This arrangement empowers you to select your own working hours, allowing you to balance your professional responsibilities with personal commitments. Regardless of being casual, our aim is to match clients and workers together with a schedule ongoing, providing as much consistency as possible to achieve continuity of care. By offering this level of flexibility, we help you create a work schedule that aligns with your lifestyle and personal needs.

**3. Comprehensive Training and Development**

At NHC, we are committed to your professional growth and development. We provide a range of in-house and on-the-job training opportunities to ensure you are well-equipped to excel in your role. Our training program includes:

- **Online Induction and Employee Handbook**: An informative introduction to our policies, procedures, and values.
- **Shadow Shifts**: Hands-on experience by working alongside experienced staff to gain practical insights.
