Welcome new staff

Published November 1, 2014

I would like to introduce two new staff members to the Just Better Care team:

Marina Abdel-Mesih, Human Resources Administrator, joined us in May 2014 and is implementing a number of the HR initiatives with me. Marina also supports the Coordination teams.

Rosie Lumello, Coordinator, joined us recently and is working with Marina and I.

Mobility Options App

Our new smart phone App allows staff to complete timesheets, in real time, on the go from mobile devices. We love this technology and eagerly await feedback from current staff trials. Stay tuned!

Time is Important

So far the App has highlighted the need for staff to work rostered hours. Specifically, start on time, finish on time and work the FULL duration.

If a client requests you to leave a shift early or stay later, you must always obtain approval from your Coordinator. If you are running late for a shift, you must advise your Coordinator who, in turn, can advise the client or case manager. If you are having difficulties with your roster, please speak with your Coordinator.

Paper Timesheets

For those of you still using paper timesheets please remember that a separate timesheet is required for each client. Make sure times are accurate.

A Big Thank You

To all Community Care Professionals for being so patient and helpful as we moved to the new server. Now access to rosters and the intranet should be much easier. Note: please ensure you log on every day after 5.30 pm to check the roster for changes to your next shift.

Work, Health and Safety (WH&S)

Your safety is always important to us. Slow down, don’t rush. Before the start of every shift, take a few minutes to think about the role you are about to perform. Always be aware of your surroundings and make sure you are properly dressed for your shift.

Closed in shoes must always be worn.

Thanks, Penny.
