Get to know some of the passionate team behind Alkira — and learn how our supportive culture, meaningful careers, and shared purpose help empower people with disabilities every day.
We have staff that have been here 35 years. There’s people like me who have been here 16 years. It’s a feeling of community, of connectedness, and we all have this purpose. We have a purpose being here.
We’re unique because we’ve done a lot of work to make sure we have the right people – the right staff here to support such a broad selection of people with disabilities. People are qualified – they know what they’re doing. But we’ve gone out of our way to make sure that the people we’re employing want to be here, and they want to be supporting these people. And they’re happy to work with us. Alkira itself was an organisation that supported me – I came in with very few qualifications and I’m now managing one of the services. Alkira – I owe them a lot.
I just always like to help people – so that’s my goal. And I’m learning, you learn a lot. I’m still learning, it’s amazing. I love the job, I love the organisation, I get a lot of support, a lot of help – they recognise what I do.
I always thought I was well taken care of – my needs were always heard. People took the chance to actually listen and come up with solutions, and it still continues on even with new management. They’re not just management, they’re also someone you can talk to easily – they’re friends.
We reward and recognise our employees.
We care about our employees so we have 24/7 counselling through our EAP.
We want you to progress towards your career goals so we have ongoing training and professional development.
We want you to get the most out of your salary, so we offer salary packaging so you can pay less tax.
