✨ It is time for our next Weekly Highlight, and this week we are incredibly excited to introduce a fantastic new member of our leadership team, Kandice!
Kandice has stepped into the role of Program Support Officer, and she has been an absolute breeze to work with since day one. We asked her about her journey, her goals, and what quality care means to her.
💡 What Inspired You to Join the Sector? "I was inspired by my own lived experience, having family who were being supported by support workers to live independently. I wanted to be a person who empowered and advocated for people when they needed it the most and to make a positive impact on someone’s daily life."
✨ Why She Loves Her Work Kandice brings a wonderful "can-do" attitude and adapts quickly to any challenge. When asked about her Favorite part of the job, she shares: "My favourite part about helping participants is seeing the satisfaction and self confidence that comes with accomplishing daily goals. Being a part of something special and making a difference to a person's life is a wonderful feeling."
🤝 What Quality Care Means to Kandice, describing our team culture as "Inclusive, Empathetic, and Fun" represents exactly how she approaches her daily work: "Quality care to me means helping our participants and team members to feel safe, respected, heard, and valued in our community."
🎯 Looking Ahead: Her 6-Month Goal Kandice is looking forward to growing more as a leader and building deep connections across the organisation. She has set a beautiful goal for her first six months: "My goal for the first six months is to get to know everyone as an individual and not just a name that I see on a computer every day."
💬 What the Team Thinks of Her: Kandice has already proven to be an incredible asset. She is a dedicated Program Support Officer who consistently demonstrates strong organisational skills and a person-centred approach. She works collaboratively with participants, families, and team members to ensure services run smoothly. Her professionalism, reliability, and commitment to participant outcomes make her a valued member of the Homelife team.
We are so lucky to have Kandice’s professional commitment, lived experience, and genuine care guiding our programs. Please join us in giving her a very warm welcome to the leadership team!
