Flexibility and growth at ACH Group
For just under 30 years, Liz Brown has done just about everything to support ACH Group’s frontline workforce.
After starting as a community care worker in 1995, Liz moved to support roles having been an administration manager, business support officer and now a business engagement partner in the Digital Services team.
Liz works in a team of three who look after ACH Group’s service desk to support the IT needs of the organisations 1900-strong workforce.
Liz said she could never have imagined the flexibility ACH Group would allow her to move across the organisation in different roles over the years.
“I think it says a lot when an organisation is willing to give people a go in different areas,” she said.
“Not only have they given me a go on many occasions they’ve also provided me with the confidence and support to try new things.
“I love the variety and the challenge my career has afforded me but most of all I love the people I’ve got to call colleagues throughout the journey.”
I started my working career with ACH Group in 1995 and have had a variety of roles over the years. I’ve worked as a:
- Community Care Worker in the southern region
- Administration Officer
- Administration Manger Community South / Murray Bridg
- Business Support Officer
- Business Engagement Partner
I am a Business Engagement Partner. I support the team that delivers all the technology solutions for our workforce of 2,000 plus.
I have received amazing support throughout the years to try new jobs and feel backed and supported during the transition to those new jobs.
The variety. I have been very fortunate to have been given the opportunity to work across community, residential and corporate services and have developed a very holistic understanding of the huge amount that goes into delivering aged care services.
Not realising the wealth of knowledge, empathy, and wisdom we can learn from older people.
It all comes down to respect. Treat others the way you would like to be treated.
I’m much closer to the end of my career than the beginning! I always thought I’d like my career to come full circle so maybe when I start to downsize I’ll look at moving back into doing community work.
Interesting, rewarding, and challenging.
