Crosscare encourages the concept of servant leadership at all levels of the organisation. People talk about Crosscare in a way that says we made them feel better about themselves by coming to Crosscare. What I love about Crosscare is that we are a servant leadership organisation. It explains what we do every day. It is a very inclusive, caring, supportive agency. Everyone looks out for everyone else, staff, clients, young people, visitors β everyone.
What you see and experience reflects what we are, a caring, compassionate, respectable agency. Crosscare has empowered me to grow and develop. The support is second to none. Crosscare has been there by my side through some bad and upsetting times; they never left my side and believed in me and what I do. Being part of the Crosscare family is so important. It gives me purpose and direction. Everyone is treated equally and with respect and understanding.
Every day is a different day β no two days are the same. No two situations or young people are the same. I get to paint on a blank canvas every day, and the colours I get to use are the needs of those we serve under the strategy and ethos of Crosscare.
Crosscare has always been there for me β even in tough times. They support you personally and professionally in your career, always ready to push you and boost you β without putting you under pressure. And they believe in you; they believe in their staff. I have heard it said so many timesβ we have some of the most talented people in Ireland, and there is nothing we cannot do when we work together.
And our roles are all developing; there is always something new to try, something else to take on β you are always meeting different people.
