SSI values
Our purpose at SSI is to create a world in which everyone has access to equal opportunities in life. To enable us to achieve this vision, our teams are driven by three core values.
Respect – accepting people for who they are, and treating everyone fairly and empathetically.
Accountability – being responsible for our actions, acting with integrity and honouring our commitments.
Inclusion – fostering belonging and valuing the diversity of people’s lived experiences, identity, knowledge and talents.
We are extremely passionate about social justice and diversity, value innovation and are focussed on providing flexible and responsive services to the people we support and stakeholders. We want to work with people who are open to new ways of thinking and prepared to contribute new ideas, flexible and open to feedback, genuinely value building deep relationships and believe in our vision.
Our success is defined by the rich diversity
of our people and their alignment to our purpose.”
