The game has changed and now more than ever before, current and future VCE graduates are in the position to seriously consider the question; “what do I want from my career – and my employer?”
As a community health organisation, Primary Care Connect envisions a community where everyone is connected, supported and empowered to lead safe, healthy and happy lives.
And that starts with our diverse team of over 120 staff dedicated to our community’s health and wellbeing.
“The health, wellbeing and growth of our staff is of paramount importance to us,” PCC people and quality executive manager Andrea Caia said.
“Over the past couple of years we have dedicated a number of projects to staff health and wellbeing; enhancing our community garden space for staff use, encouraging our team to use our in-house gym free of charge, providing free fruits for the entire team and introducing a holistic health and wellbeing app, (Sonder) for all staff and their families to access for free, on top of the Employee Assistance Program that is also available.
“We understand in the current job market and with skills shortages being felt across the community health sector; that to attract the best people, we need to provide the best possible workplace that focuses holistically on our staff including health, wellbeing, flexibility, an attractive salary, professional development and career progression.”
“PCC embodies a commitment to everyone within our community, providing employees the chance to make a tangible difference in people's lives every single day.
“At the heart of this commitment lies a team of dedicated professionals, each playing a vital role in shaping the social and health outcomes of individuals and communities alike.
“I go home every day feeling rewarded, like I’ve really contributed to making our community a better place, and I do not see clients,” PCC media and communications coordinator Shara Scott said.
“Even in a business support role, I feel good about my contribution and the role I play.
“I really encourage students to consider a career with PCC whether it’s in a client facing role, or in a business support role such as finance, IT, or administration where you are so needed, so valued, and where you make a real difference.
“We are committed to investing in people, and to see them grow within our organisation.
“Our trainees often start with us in an administrative capacity, and then find their niche whether it be as an AOD or family violence support worker, gambler’s help, health promotion, or further study to join our nursing and allied teams,” chief executive officer Trish Quibell said.
Embarking on a career path with PCC is more than a ‘job’ — it's about embracing the opportunity to genuinely transform lives, while checking all the boxes for what you may want and need from your next employer.
