A typical day at work

going to client's place and providing service as directed by mangement that included;
 1. Assisting client at home with personal care, medication, cooking light meals,
2. Taking clients to doctors, shopping or intertment venues e.g. cinema, bowling, 

I learned that everybody need to enjoy life and to be respected.

Communication with my co-workers was very important in order to provide consistant best care for our clients.

The hardest part of the job;
Sometime it was very emotional especially when dealling with clients with severe dissabilities and pains.

The most enjoyable part of the job
 seeing a smile on client's face.

A typical day is assisting the clients with daily activities such as Meal assistance and toileting. Taking them out into the community and teaching them to make a meaningful contribution. The management is very supportive and willing to listen to their staff and suggestions. My co-workers are also friendly and supportive. The hardest part of the job is understanding what some of the clients are trying to say. The most enjoyable part of the job is seeing the smile on the clients faces when I have helped them either make a decision or a contribution to the community.

Work sheets with instruction on what was required to repair, modify or manufacture
Learnt the intricate equipment for the dis-able clients and the purpose
Management had been there for a long time and had people they trusted. I didn't appreciate management trying to get me to work under an unqualified contract cleaner.
Co-worker eager for quality work and the safety of the clients
The hardest part of the job was been interrupted by the cleaner.
The most enjoyable part was working with the Physio-Therapist and the clients

It's an easy company to progress and receive higher pay.
A lot of learning opportunities - loved it! 
A lot of politics and workplace bullying.
Staff isn't being cared for, run dows, exhausted, underpaid.
Not enough full-time staff per shift.
Staff's physical safety is often compromised.

Six years at the company and no growth opportunities management do not support you lack of communication and excluded from communications that are offered for growth lack of empathy and high risk environment for low pay 

Great place to work, all work collegues know their job and we work well together. On site managment is very supportive.
Every day presents new challenges as would be expected of working with people with disablilites.
I get my sadisfaction from knowing that i have done the best i can possible for the people i care for.

Worked for them for over 10 years, experienced a culture of bullying by management.  Casual workers were frowned upon. A culture of smokers verses non smokers.

Actual work is great. Management and culture is toxic. No opportunity to progress within company unless you are part of the clique within management. Career change is best suggestion 

loved working here - hands down the best team and work environment I've had the pleasure to be apart of.
all the regulars that work there are open minded and very welcoming. I was comfortable here yet busy.

No support from higher management . Students are great the pay rate is below average . The company expects you Lo work overtime and not be paid . Very disappointed it is a corporation
