| Guiding Principles |
All elements of your delivery of the Job Description must encapsulate :
Best In Class
We must remain fresh, well-informed and innovative in our approach so that we can consistently develop best-in-class support services for our WIS and their families. We must invest in our staff as it is they who will make the difference.
It’s about the blokes
The WIS and their families must remain the focus of everything we do
Support to families is as important as support to the WIS. We must maintain the personal touch and give the WIS and their families our personal attention.
Can Do
We must remain easy to access for our beneficiaries and easy to do business with for our partners and other H4H staff. We must remain a ‘can-do’ organisation that will find a single reason to make something happen, not 100 reasons to stop it. ‘Can, not can’t; will, not won’t; why not, not why. ’We must remain efficient and not bureaucratic.
One Team
Regardless of where you work or what you do in H4H, we must work as a team to deliver the best possible holistic support and services to our WIS and their families today and into the future, and to develop our services over time. We expect the highest standards of competence, commitment and personal conduct from H4H staff in their dealings with the WIS and their families, our partner organisations, and each other. |
