Why students join Ascend Health

One of the reasons we hire university students is because they have a passion for helping people. They value the opportunity to help people with disabilities, and are very excited to join Ascend Health. This means we have more support workers than participants.

Why university students?

We've identified that one of the biggest challenges facing the industry is a lack of quality, practical experience for students entering the healthcare sector. These students are passionate about making a difference and improving the lives of people in their communities. We offer students the opportunity to work and learn under a team of qualified professionals.

Investing in the future

Our training and job experience has resulted in a team of staff that are happier and more confident in their ability to provide high quality support services to their community. This means that they enjoy their work more and are passionate about continuing to develop to meet the high standards that Ascend Health has become known for.
