- We collaborate with the Client/Participant to build a long-term sustainable support team, nurturing a partnership with the right Support Worker/s who really know the Participants goals, interests, and passions
- Ensuring the foundations of support are the right human connection.
- Hearth invests time and resources to find the right Participant Support Worker match.
- To build a long-term sustainable support team it is important with higher support needs that capacity, balance, and flexibility is built into the support team.
- Established support team Support Worker hours of work do not necessarily indicate any further capacity.
- For long term sustainable support, the Hearth approach is to build the right capacity, balance, and flexibility into the team with a blend of students and career Support Workers.
- As an example, Allied Health University students are impressive Support Workers, however a support team comprising only Allied Health University students would not be sustainable due to the impact of university commitments such as placements.
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of lands, seas, and waters throughout Australia, and pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
