Working at DereKare: About the Client The Workplace Our Team
Our Values
Values are the foundation of everything we do. We can sum it all up in one word: Care.
Care.
Care about the people around you. Care about doing a good job.
Care about being better each day. Care for yourself and your client.
Character before credentials.
We choose people based on character, judgment, and track record. Great people make great caregivers.
Genuine connection.
We treat you like the unique and valued person you are. We lead with kindness and openness.
Humor, Relaxation, and Fun.
We have a uniquely relaxed, casual vibe full of humor, smiles, and snacks. Bring your style and vibe; we do our best to make this a place you really want to be.
Honesty, Integrity, and Transparency.
We say what we mean, we do what we say, and we don't hide things from you. We always try to do the right thing, even when it's hard or costly.
Careful Communication.
We are clear, considerate, and timely with our words. We adjust to fit your needs and preferences.
Respect and Understanding.
Our differences and challenges need not divide us. We see you with empathy, thoughtfulness, and tolerance.
Mental Health.
We're mindful of the role that your work environment and relationships play in your mental health, and we're supportive of people who struggle.
Inclusion and Individuality.
Different identities, backgrounds, personalities, and life experiences make the team stronger. We value the things that make you different.
Privacy and Predictability.
We respect your time. We don't mess with schedules, require overtime, or steal shifts. We take your privacy and safety seriously, and we protect each other.
Safety and Ethics.
We take care to protect our people from bad situations and bad people. We work hard to make this a safe and comfortable space, both physically and emotionally.
Empowerment and Education.
Care shouldn’t be a one-way street; you should be better off as a result of being here. We support your growth.
Constant Improvement.
We're feedback-friendly: always looking for ways to improve our care, ourselves, and the way we run it all.
