What our staff say

I am very passionate about working for CHSS. I have found the work environment to be very positive and have never felt as supported in a workplace as I do here. The Team Leaders and Executive are all very approachable and happy to answer any questions and listen to ideas and suggestions from all staff. I also enjoy the amount of training we receive in our roles to help us best support our clients and ensure we know what is expected of us in our various roles. I love that the company is so client focused and gives us the resources we need to best assist clients in working towards their goals. I walk away from work each day feeling like I have genuinely helped our clients which makes the job very rewarding also.

As a new staff member, I have found the experience working here at CHSS to be very pleasant. Everyone has been welcoming and supportive. Team leaders have been available for advice and support wherever and whenever I have needed it. I’m finding working with the clients to be very rewarding and I’m really enjoying each and every ‘little win’ moment I get with whoever I am working with. Seeing them progress is keeping me coming back with enthusiasm and energy for each shift.
