Working in care for older people provides a sense of purpose and fulfillment that comes from knowing you are making a positive difference in someone's life. Every day, our team has the opportunity to positively impact our residents' quality of life by providing personalised care, comfort and companionship.

Care for older people is not just about providing physical care but also emotional and social support. Our team forms strong relationships with our residents, getting to know their likes, dislikes and personal histories. These relationships can bring joy and meaning to both the caregiver and the resident.

Working in care people provides a continuous learning experience. Our team receives ongoing training and development, gaining knowledge and skills that help them provide the best care possible. They also have the opportunity to learn from our residents, who can teach them about life, history and culture.

Working in care requires a strong team, and our team at Island Healthcare is no exception. Our staff members work collaboratively, supporting each other and our residents to provide the best care possible. This supportive and inclusive environment makes for a positive work culture that our team loves to be a part of.

Caring for older people is a fulfilling and rewarding career that provides purpose, relationship building, continuous learning and teamwork.
