Staff Testimonials

Since having started my employment with Fairbridge I have moved from Housekeeper to Site Coordinator. At every step of my progression from new employee learning the daily business operations and organisational structure to coordinating a site I have felt well informed and supported by my co-workers and the upper management team. There is a strong emphasis on collaborative teamwork which I find very empowering. Fairbridge is a dynamic organisation which provides an excellent opportunity at any level to grow and progress in a number of fields.

Shanelle is from Meadows Springs and is now a busy working mum, working for us and completing her apprenticeship with a 2-year-old son is no easy task. Shanelle is getting married at Fairbridge later this year and has been instrumental in rejuvenating the bedrooms in Scratton Lodge to welcome our returning school camps. Shanelle has already attended a training course and achieved her Restricted Asbestos Licence. Shanelle has seamlessly fitted into the maintenance team.

Fairbridge strikes a wonderful balance of job satisfaction with the crucial element of work-life balance. I love having a seat at a table where everyone is entitled to an opinion and each one is heard. Before coming to work in Pinjarra, I was doing all I could to leave the hospitality industry due to its demanding, not family friendly, unappreciated nature. It was a breath of much needed air to join a family where the individuals matter.

Transparency and clarity with senior management, I had not experienced in previous jobs and it's that holistic approach that inspires staff. The most paramount aspect of working for Fairbridge is that you are not just another number, you have a voice. Self-development and education are at the forefront of a career with Fairbridge!
