At Charter Recovery Housing, we’ve discovered a little secret: culture isn’t just a term used to describe an organisational approach, ethos or aspiration it’s the everyday expression of passion, authenticity and dedication to make a difference. If you’ve ever wondered why people rave about our workplace, it’s because we put a lot of heart and soul into creating a culture where everyone feels they belong, can have their say and be listened to.
What makes our culture tick?
Culture is the glue that holds us all together. We are all about making sure everyone feels valued, supported, ready to roll up their sleeves, get stuck in or put the kettle on!
- Respect and Kindness: Think of this as our no-nonsense policy. We’re big on treating everyone with respect and kindness because, let’s face it, nobody’s got time for drama. Empathy is our middle name! We believe in understanding each other’s unique contributions and celebrate diversity.
- Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: Sure, we could say that teamwork is crucial, but that sounds a bit cliché, doesn’t it? Instead, let’s just say this: we know that the best results come when we all pitch in and collaborate. From coming up with new innovative ways to supports our clients, and each other, celebrating the wins (big or small) and good times, and supporting each other through the losses and difficult times, we’re all about that team spirit.
- Growth, Growth, Growth: We’re not just talking about the company here; we’re talking about you, too. Personal and professional growth is a big deal for us. We offer training, mentorship, and opportunities to help you advance. If you’re keen on learning and growing, you’re in the right place.
- Strong Brand Values (that our staff and residents live and work by):
- People
We believe in people’s inherent ability to change and celebrate both success and failure, understanding that failure is an important milestone from which to learn and grow. Everyone has their own ambitions and we provide opportunities to help people achieve these. - Safety
Ensuring our residents and staff live and work in a safe environment where they can be productive and are able to focus on their goals without feeling threatened or stressed. - Accountability
An acceptance of responsibility for honest and ethical behaviour towards others. Taking ownership of the consequences from your decisions and actions. - Collaboration
Working in partnership with other health and social care agencies to maintain a service-based recovery community. Ensuring honesty and being trustworthy are key drivers in creating a safe and supportive environment, where residents and staff can thrive and learn from each other’s similar life experiences. - Empathy
Having the ability to listen to, and genuinely empathise with, someone else’s situation without judgement. Offering compassion and emotional/practical problem-solving skills. - Equality
An inclusive and non-judgemental attitude which focusses on ‘what’s strong’ and not ‘what’s wrong’, providing everyone with an equal opportunity for a better future irrespective of their background.
