“I love coming to work. It’s a wonderful atmosphere and such rewarding work. We’re a strong community. The wonderful people we get to care for. The inspirational staff who go the extra mile every day with a smile on their face. Some have been working with us for 30 years. I feel we have valuable input into clinical innovation and ultimately the resident’s quality of life. I feel we really make a difference. I am blessed to work with such a passionate and dedicated team and an organisation that empowers knowledge and innovation. I love the positive energy. For me it’s all about the laughter and friendship.”

“I’m a big believer in personal connections and friendships. We’re very people-focused. If you want something done, it gets done – when and how you like it. When you build a relationship with someone, they become like family and you become part of their home. I love my job and the people I work with.”

“I’ve looked after a resident at St. Paul’s since I’ve been there for almost eight years now. He really treats me like I’m one of his children. Whenever I go down and visit him, he always invites me to have a meal with him and just have a chat. We talk about his family and his holidays. Even though it’s just a conversation, it just feels so meaningful. They want you to be with them. And it’s that feeling of being needed or wanted that makes a difference.”

“Something that’s very rewarding is the smiles that you get on the residents’ faces, even if you do something very small for them. Anytime you go out of your way for them, even in that small moment, it’s so great to see the lovely smiles on their faces.”
