Brightwater Care Group

Start at 7 am, shower residents, hoist into wheelchairs, assist with meals, toilet when needed, empty laundry and rubbish skips, get abused by some residents, get thanked by others for what I do. I've learned I can not continue in this career for much longer. Our deputy care manager has no communication skills, and she is quite rude and abrupt with everyone. The manager is very understanding and will listen to us, she has only been with us a short time, hopefully it'll be longer. My colleagues are very good, we work well as a team. The hardest part of the job is the extreme complexities of some of our residents. We are supposed to be aged care but it's getting more like mental health! The most enjoyable part of my job is working with most of my colleagues, we have a laugh and a social life outside of work.

At Brightwater Care group I was made to feel part of a supportive and friendly team. Although you are working independently with clients you never feel alone, Team Leaders and Scheduling staff are always a phone call away and are more than helpful with any queries. The ongoing training provided by bright water makes you feel increasingly confident in your roll as a community support worker. There are also numerous opportunities during training to meet other support workers and share ideas.

The clients in Brightwater are truly enjoyable to work with and often make work a fun, enjoyable place to be.

The hardest Part of the Job i found was working alone on a daily basis. However the team meetings and training provides a time to share concerns and ideas with other workers.

Brightwater is a really good company to work with, good benefits such as salary packaging. They help their employees out to develop professionally with all the free training and seminars given to ensure staff are skilled enought to wotk in the feild. They also give free crrt 3, enrolled nursing and registered nursing to employees who wish to apply for scholarship. All the co workers were very friendly snd professional. They provide lots and lots of support specially to people who work in the field. All issues were addressed right away. Office are on call 24/7 when you need them rhey are just once call away.

Almost 22 years of working for this company and giving them 110%  a life changing injury seen them show how they really do not   care about their staff.  I went above and beyond to try make the lives of the Senior Citz more joyful and contented...

I had to call on 6 different clients per day from Rockingham to Melville
I learned to keeping client records to becoming more confident in communication with diverse cultures 
The hardest part of the job was to keep my clients happy 
The most enjoyable part was seeing my clients facial expressions when I call to their house and the were delighted to see me.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Clean environment - providing enough PPEs and better training.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Some coordinators/managers sneaking the staff and feel like some is checking you all the time.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
do your job and go home. No need of more commitments

I found working for this company was actually fantastic they tried to accommodate the hours that best suited you there was always support when it was needed a typical day would be 2-3 showers a meal prep and a clean and sometimes a respite the hardest part of the job was not being given enough times between clients for travel 
although this was not very often

I start work at 0830 and finish at 1630. My job is people based. I take numerous phone calls from staff with pay queries, shift allocations and general questions.  I really do enjoy my job but am finding due to the cuts in aged care funding that my job might be in jeopardy which concerns me.  I would love to stay in the Mandurah/Rockingham area.

A great environment to work in, good on going training and excellent staff benefits offered.  Also flexibility in working hours.  Working for a not for profit organisation you are eligible to receive tax-free benefits.

It would be of huge benefit to both the residents and workers at the facility to have more staff on the floor. The patient to staff ratio creates stress and results in a lower level of care provided.
The work place culture also contributes to poor practice in areas such as manual handling due to having a high work load and being time poor.
