Cam Can

I haven't been there long but the management are really supportive and are willing to give you training to help boost your confidence.  They do buddy shift you a couple of times before you are set on your own.  All training is paid for by the company. They also give you an added Induction called, 'Values Training' this is a team building exercise, this I do find quite unique from other companies I have worked for. The hardest part of the job is getting flow with a new routine as I am new to the job, there are many different aspects to the job to remember.  The most enjoyable part of the job is when I know the routine and I settle in with the Cam Can Member getting a flow on the routine.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Flexibility of working remotely and a well balanced lifestyle 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Too many hats to wear when dealing with complex individuals and families as there is no oncall support 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
All inclusive and well balanced 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
All days a differ t and they come with  huge variety of situations and circumstances

While working in human services can be  demanding and challenging Cam Can seem to get the balance right of supporting their team members with on-the-job support,  professional development opportunities and commitment to staff having important work/life balance.

was never given the support necessary
ignored and never given more shifts once I complained about a situation
was blackmailed by clients and never had the support and back up of management
they left you to your own devices and was not bothered about you only bothered bout covering the shifts
no proper policies and procedures 
loved the job but not the harassment I had to put up with

This company is one of the worse I have worked for. You are ignored by management, not paid on time, not paid correctly, coordinators never respond to calls or emails. Toxic company and work environment. Avoid avoid avoid. 

It's a place where you grow professionally, and also learn a lot about yourself along the way within a supportive environment. 

For Cam Can, its values are real, not something stuck on the wall or a website; a place where people genuinely try to walk out the values in order to help make a meaningful difference for others. 

Management scratch each others backs.  If you raise concerns, you're out.  Pay and conditions substandard.  Staff put in dangerous situations.  No support from management when needed, you're on your own and when things go wrong they refuse to take responsibility.  Toxic environment.

Didn't like small shifts of 2hrs asked for more hours was told they will put it on my roster. New young starters with no or very little experience getting all the shifts


Do not expect replies from coordinators this year. Pays are often delayed. One set pay rate for all. Not even an email to say merry Christmas thanks for the great job you support workers do for Camcan

Cam Can is a fantastic organisation that truly puts people first. The team is caring, professional, and committed to supporting individuals to build independence and confidence. Highly recommend Cam Can for person-centred, genuine support.
