A caring company with a lot of experienceThe good thingsCommunity lifestyle support is a great company to work for. The clients are looked after very well because they have workers assigned to them, who are suitable to work for them. We pride ourselves on ensuring a good quality of life. Their workers are very caring. They go above and beyond to meet the needs of their clients. Another strong point is they're passionate about empowering their clients to get the most out of their lives. Although at times, it gets gross but, all the gross times are outweighed by the amount of benefits that come with it. Working for community lifestyle support is very rewarding. Seeing clients achieve their goals is worth all the hard work.
The challengesShift work in general is a hard thing to deal with. Most workers will agree that a \"day off\" is a precious thing but at the same time we know we're going to get called in.
Some days workers are expected to be at another client at the same time they're meant to finish with their client they're already with. It is very easy to get burnt out.
Some clients have behavioural issues but that comes with the job.
Sometimes, the stress levels can be so high that even a 2 hour shift will make you want to hide away from the world and just enjoy silence and nothingness.
