Supporting others in crisis through volunteering She is a smiling face and a warm welcome for people in need, and for Emergency
Assistance program volunteer Rosie, simply being there for someone else is her driving motivation. “My (Emergency Assistance) role is interviewing clients who come in,” Rosie said. “No matter their background, I just chat with them about what supports and services they need. “We support them with more direct and immediate things like food, clothing, bus tickets, or vouchers for Foodbank, but we’re also able to offer much more like bedding, assistance with access to cheaper eyeglasses or medicine prescriptions, or even help organising dental appointments. “When you work with a client and see the difference it makes having someone to listen to them and support them in accessing what they need – it’s very rewarding.”

Our story, by you: introducing our People Value Proposition
We worked with an external partner to focus on employees from across AnglicareSA. We wanted to better understand why they choose to work for us and what it is like – both the highs and the lows.
We did this to: – keep improving as an organisation and as a team to ensure we are focusing on the things that matter most to our employees – develop our People Value Proposition (PVP), which is about sharing what it is like to work for us, and inspiring great people to join the AnglicareSA team. Our PVP centres on a core message – So many lives. So many ways. One you @AnglicareSA. This message is designed to help us bring to life the huge impact that employees can have here, whoever you are, and whatever your role is. This then leads into more detailed messaging and stories about the opportunities we offer, the culture we are proud to be building, and most importantly, the wonderful people who choose to work for us. Work began to bring the PVP to life internally in March ahead of the full launch later in the year.
