Who is Guide and Southern Cross Care?

Guide Healthcare is a young business with the energy and enthusiasm you would expect from a chihuahua (without the small dog syndrome) and yes that is a reference to the office puppy Sammy!

Southern Cross Care is a long standing not-for-profit organisation who believe that individuality is one of the greatest gifts of being human. Our ‘customer at the heart’ philosophy means that your happiness and wellbeing are our priority.

Together we are a passionate team of Allied Health professionals (and others shout out to our support teams!) who have decided to live out the ethos behind why we studied to do what we do, help people to improve their quality of life.

We don’t love limitations to our creativity and to the possibilities for the individuals we support so we only partner with organisations who feel the same.

Supporting some of the best humans going is what drives us to keep learning and innovating to be equally as good as they are and supporting them to improve upon or retain their unique awesomeness.

We know that every human is different and so there is no one size fits all or tick box approach to how we treat and support our patients or our Guidians (as if it wasn’t clear enough that our team are superheroes we’ve named them as such!)

This was a natural connection for Guide and Southern Cross Care to partner up to ensure that the residents supported across all Southern Cross Care homes get the very best in Allied Health with the Guide approach embedded.

Who are we looking for and what will you actually do?

In partnership with Southern Cross Care, Guide Healthcare are delivering a service to SCC residents that is constantly working towards achieving their goals.

We have a team of Physio's, OT’s, Podiatrists, Speechies, Dietitian's and EP’s who do the magic face to face (or via Telehealth when COVID gets in the way).
As well as a team supporting them from behind the scenes so they can focus on what matters!

Our focus is on the individual and what they need, so just as no two people are the same, neither are two days.

We like to mix it up and keep things fun and engaging with some healthy competition thrown in, which is how our cross-site comps kicked off!

• Have you ever seen a 88 year old compete in weightlifting?
• Someone with one leg smashing it in the long jump?
• A non-ambulant 2 assist person start walking unassisted and completing marathons through Tokyo (virtually)?
• How about a 97-years young lady thrashing the competition in a Blaze Battle?
• Groups of older adults engaging in mindfulness and meditation?

Amazingly all of the above has happened through our cross-site competitions, clinician developed programs, and award winning initiatives, where we continue to amaze ourselves, our patients and their families with their incredible abilities and accomplishments.

Ok sounds cool but what do I get other than the superhero tag?
