    It’s a fantastic organisation to be part of and one that truly makes a difference in the community.
    The good thingsOver the many years I have worked with this organisation, I have always found the staff to be friendly, supportive, and genuinely caring. Everyone is committed to helping young people succeed and supporting each other as a team. For me, it about being part of something that truly makes a difference in the community.
    The challengesThe organisation may not focus on flashy extras like new cars, but it provides everything staff need to do their jobs well. The priority is clearly placed on supporting the community and delivering meaningful outcomes for young people rather than spending money on unnecessary things.

    Great company where there are a lot of people that have worked for the company long term and have the heart, passion and commitment for their clients.
    The good thingsGreat company to work for if you show commitment, resilience and passion for the role and position. Flexible working arrangements and very supportive. First company in my career that I have worked more than 3 years. 10 Years in one company is a first for me, usually get bored and leave.
    The challengesNone. I wouldn't be here after 10 years if the challenges were too hard to handle.
