Benefits of Becoming a Right at Home Caregiver

The foundation of becoming a successful Right at Home care worker is a deep passion for people and a commitment to providing high-quality care. In return, Right at Home provides flexibility and work security and a sense of belonging to a local, and national team. Right at Home values and supports your contribution and focuses on your career development with mentoring by experienced nurses and care managers, ongoing training, and continuous support with care manager supervision. Competitive pay, career development, a reward and recognition program and a world class team connection portal called ‘Right About You!’ which includes a wellbeing and discounts program are all part of the advantages of working for Right at Home.

Right About You!™

Right About You! is our new employee communication, recognition, wellbeing, benefits and discounts program. The program connects, recognises and supports Right at Home people wherever and whenever we work. The program brings to life our Values and Culture with the use of eCards to recognise employees and peers doing great work. A key benefit of Right About You! is to help our caregivers save money everyday, with discounts at over 400 Australian and international retailers. The best part? ALL of the discount offers can be used in conjunction with any sale prices or promotions offered by the retailer - so our caregivers save even more on things like groceries, petrol, clothing, entertainment, gadgets, appliances, travel and much more!

If spending is not their thing, our caregivers click through to our wellbeing portal for tips and tricks on how to maintain a healthy balance in their life. If they are looking for some midweek meal inspiration, needing help winding down at the end of a busy day, or just looking for simple ways to move more, there are loads of videos, recipes, articles, tools and tips to support their physical, financial and mental wellbeing. Or, they click on our news stream to connect and keep up to date with their local office team mates or send them a ‘high five’ for something they did well.

As part of Right at Home’s RightPeople, we have ensured that whatever makes our caregivers tick, Right About You! has it covered.
