Meg loves friends, fun, frivolity

The St John of God Health Care Values of Hospitality, Compassion, Respect, Justice and Excellence were what initially attracted Meg to her role as a nurse unit manager.

However, it’s the friendships, fun, laughter and frivolity that she experiences regularly with her team that has kept her happily employed at St John of God Langmore Centre over the past six years.

“It’s definitely the people,” Meg said, when asked what she enjoys about working at St John of God Health Care’s newest mental health facility. 

“We have a really supportive, really fun ─ sometimes silly at times ─ team here. We definitely socialise outside of work ─ sometimes a little too much. It’s just a lovely place to be.”

Meg also credits the organisational support and encouragement she received in her pursuit to further her capabilities and credentials. 

Having completed the academic and clinical requirements to become an endorsed nurse practitioner, Meg is grateful for the opportunities St John of God Health Care has provided her to advance her career.

Equally as important to Meg, are the benefits that come from working in a town that has easy access to beaches, parks and cafes, and one that comes with a unique small village vibe. 

“My family and I really enjoy going to all the beaches,” she said.

“We have a lot of parks around here. A lot of places to hang out with our dog and one-year-old.”
