Shirin
“I’m proud to be a part of Fair Foundations, serving people from different backgrounds, assisting them in their journey to stand up and advocate for their rights.”
Reem
“Fair Foundations has become a very special place in my heart.
Being amongst a company who’s passion and drive is to deliver quality services to our community and families, continues to light the fire in me to give it 100% every day.”
Shareen
“It’s an honour to be a part of a team that listens to the community and follows through to meet their needs. At Fair Foundations, I’ve had the opportunity to expand my career in the childcare industry, gaining knowledge and developing my skills along the way.”
Stela
“In my experience, our trademark might be described as ‘going the extra step’ to support people in the community facing disadvantage. It is a culture of going beyond expectations: making the extra phone call, sending the follow-up email, extending a conversation with a client, researching just that little bit more for a funding submission.”
Kate
“When I joined Fair Foundations, I knew that this was a provider with a long-standing reputation and also an honest provider. Integrity is important to me, given that the industry, especially the Disability industry does have its fair share of fraudulent providers. I liked that I was joining an organisation who has a genuine care for the people that it serves.”
Dena
“The best part of my job is the opportunity to constantly learn and grow. I face new challenges regularly, which helps me develop both professionally and personally.
I enjoy the collaborative environment in my workplace. Working with talented and supportive colleagues not only boosts productivity but also makes each day enjoyable.”
