Some people join a team. Joelma joined a mission, and somehow made it feel like a mission worth singing about.
She started out helping learners achieve their professional goals, then joined our digital marketing team, and just like that, the lady with the microphone in Beorma became the voice behind our brand as well.
And Joelma listens. Really listens. It's rare, and it's why she's trusted a lot. When she says she'll sort it, consider it a job done without chasing or reminding.
She's the kind of free spirit who'll talk your ear off about a true crime documentary one minute and hum a new melody the next, and somehow both feel like exactly who she is. Committed where it counts, curious about everything else, and generous with her attention in a way that makes everyone around her feel a little more seen.
We didn't just gain a Sales Team Leader or a marketing hand. We gained someone who makes the place feel warmer just by being in it.
Joelma, thank you for being exactly, unapologetically you. ๐

As you support the people in your care this month, ensure you put the same effort into looking after yourself, too.
Wellness shouldn't be a one-off thing. It's the small, daily, consistent habits you practice.
It could be;
๐นTaking breaks when necessary
๐นManaging stress before it builds up
๐นStaying psychologically and physically fit
However you look after your own well-being, this month we're reminding you actually to do it.
Care deserves better, and so do you.

Here's what's on the table:
โ
60% reimbursement upfront
โ
40% on course completion
โ
Training for non-regulated care staff, registered managers, and agency staff
Don't go into August wishing you'd moved sooner.

Access Skills Development Day ๐
Last week, we traded laptops for flipchart paper and a fair bit of team chaos, and it turned out to be a huge success.
We brainstormed, tested, shared feedback, and had a good laugh at ourselves along the way, and by the end of it, we had a room full of people even more bought into what we're building.
Then it was straight from flipcharts to an escape room, followed by drinks and dinner, thoroughly earned. ๐
A huge thank you to our CEO, ๐ก๐ฒ๐ถ๐น ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ and all our amazing team members for their contributions.
Cheers to many more spirit-lifting moments like this ๐ฅ

60% reimbursement upfront
โ
40% on course completion
โ
Training for non-regulated care staff, registered managers, and agency staff
