WHAT IS THE WORK REALLY LIKE?
It can be hard but if you're the right person the struggles will allow you to grow as a person. This is not charity work to be thanked for doing; this is about witnessing inequity and the inherent worth of the people we work with. It’s about being curious, learning from the people we work with, people who’ve experienced unmeasurable trauma and injustices, and are battling systemic issues on a daily basis.
Here’s how one of our employees describes the work:
"We work in people’s home and we sometimes know them and their families across decades. We have real relationships that cross time and do our best not to recreate abandonment and rejection. We extend trust and make ourselves emotionally available, even when people have left us earlier than they might have in different circumstances.
It’s working alongside (not for) someone, creatively solving problems together that maybe you both thought were too complex, or even impossible, each new problem providing another opportunity for change, and a chance of finding better ways of working. Be prepared to experience frustration, empathy, and excitement in a matter of hours or even minutes. Working here will challenge you, and change you."
