An organisation is only as strong as its people - and Carinity is blessed to have almost 1,800 dedicated employees who are committed to supporting Queenslanders in need.
We asked some long-serving Carinity employees about what they enjoy most about the work they do - and why they love working for Carinity.
Gary Turner (2005)
Bunderra disability support
"My job is both challenging and rewarding, and also a way to make one feel incredibly humble and thankful. Carinity gives each employee a wonderful opportunity to help enable those less fortunate to participate in the local community."
Dale Hansen (2005)
Carinity Education Glendyne
"I really enjoy the opportunity to share the message of the Cross of Jesus Christ with those students who don't know God's love, grace, and mercy. The other great part of the job is seeing and witnessing student success
Esther Arulogun (1985)
Colthup Manor Aged Care
"What I enjoy most is being able to give high quality care to the elderly … ensuring their needs, comfort and security. Carinity is a well-established organisation that respects its employees. I like the support and encouragement that the management gives its staff, so we can focus on caring for our residents."
Rosemary Butterfield (1994)
Carinity Head Office
"I enjoy working with people who have a love and passion for the care of the elderly, striving to show Christ's love to others in their everyday lives. We are all one large family with a common goal of helping others."
Graham Harvey (1994)
Shalom retirement village
"The opportunity to work for a Christian-based organisation is rewarding and fulfilling. Staff can make a difference by helping people reach their potential. We also help those in the senior community enjoy their golden years - including finding peace and happiness leading to longevity."
Christine Coe (2007)
Home Care Brisbane South
"Working with Carinity has enhanced my knowledge and allowed me to grow in the care sector. You are always learning from both the organisation and our clients. To inspire your clients in day-to-day tasks is extremely gratifying. Their life stories are a huge interest and a privilege to hear. People are my passion."
Dave McNair (2005)
Orana youth homelessness accommodation
"I love the fact that we get to support young people who are doing it tough and help them to change the direction of their life for the better. I love the values that Carinity aspires to - to be the hands and feet of Jesus; to love and value people and respect their differences."
