At our Clyde North service, creating a supportive and vibrant culture where educators feel empowered and appreciated is a top priority. Our 2IC, Kristal, made an invaluable addition to the team by recommending Ada, who recently joined as a permanent Educator. This was no ordinary referral, it was a thoughtful decision grounded in Kristal’s insight into Ada's character and potential and her knowledge of the values that define our service.
“I felt that I’ve had enough time to get to know the team and the culture at SHEL Clyde North and felt that Ada would be a great fit. I remembered that she didn’t feel appreciated in her most recent workplace and thought she would align well with SHEL’s core values and appreciate the refreshing change” – Kristal.
Kristal’s understanding of both Ada and the team dynamic was key to making this recommendation. Having spent time working alongside Ada previously, Kristal saw first-hand her qualities as an educator. She recalls. “Ada is very respectful and committed to bettering herself in her professional career. After spending time working alongside her, I felt her friendly and willing attitude would be a great culture fit.”
For Ada, joining the team has been both heartwarming and empowering, sharing her appreciation for Kristal’s recommendation.
“Working with a very professional and supportive team makes for a very exciting opportunity for me to further develop and grow in my career. I’ve learned to trust my team members more and understand that we all have things we’re good at. This has helped me to be confident and contribute to our team by sharing ideas and perspectives.”
Kristal’s thoughtful recommendation and Ada’s dedicated work exemplify the unique and nurturing culture that defines the Clyde North team and the wider SHEL business. We’re thrilled to have Ada join the team, knowing she’ll bring meaningful contributions to the service and the children in her care.
