About the STEP Program

n

- A calm, home-like setting - clinical patient support without the institutional feel
n
- Emergency and short-term placements - while permanent care is arranged
n
- A boutique 4-5 client capacity - allowing truly personalised, relationship-based care

This is a rare opportunity to work in an intimate setting where quality of care and dignity come first.
