Purpose, Vision and Values
At BaptistCare, our vision, purpose and values guide who we are and how we serve people and communities.
They reflect what we believe about people, the change we want to see in the world, and the way we work together every day.
At BaptistCare, our vision is to create communities where everyone can live to their full potential.
As an organisation, we are inspired by the compassionate and humble way Jesus cared for all people, especially those who were often overlooked – and it is this care for all people that also guides our commitment to being open, welcoming and inclusive of people of all faiths, backgrounds and beliefs.
We bring our vision and purpose to life through our I ACT values:
Inclusivity – We respect each other and ensure everyone has the opportunity to participate, succeed and belong.
Accountability – We take personal responsibility and ownership, committing to excellence in our actions and ethics.
Compassion – We express our care by acting on our empathy and providing tangible support to those around us.
Teamwork – We work collaboratively to share ideas, skills and knowledge towards our common goals.

Your application should include your resume and a cover letter that highlights your relevant experience.
Our talent acquisition team will assess every application and choose a shortlist of candidates for the role.
Step 2: Interviews
If your application is shortlisted, you’ll participate in a phone or video call interview.
