These coordinators will be supporting the team after hours on weekends.
We welcome them to the team and thank them for the work they have been doing recently.
In other news we have had a change in Coordinators for Sutherland.

You cannot request time off over Mobile Me. The leave form process ensures that all your services are covered while you are away. Please provide enough notice to your key Coordinator – at least 2 weeks – to allow head office staff to arrange another support professional to cover your shifts.

Training
A new 2015 initiative has been implemented inviting all case workers to a compulsory training session separated by regions. We wish to bring care professionals and coordinators together to air any questions or issues in a relaxed, social setting. We are very excited about this new development and look forward to getting to know all our valued care professionals individually. We are also re-instating our monthly training programs with Fiona, these training sessions will lend an insight into caring for a Dementia patient, M.S and the elderly. Monthly
Mobile Me UPDATE
This is an important reminder regarding the use of Mobile Me. We are still experiencing some technical issues with the App. If you are active on Mobile Me, and you suspect the App is not performing properly, please contact Marina at the office straight away. Immediately switch to timesheets for that particular service because if you do not use timesheets and your App is not working – we cannot prove you have attended the shift therefore you may not be paid for that service.
