Our mission is: "Pursuing the dignity of independence".
At Brightwater, we value the potential that lives inside each and every one of us, no matter what that looks like. It’s our ability to strive towards our best-self every day, to keep learning and to keep growing.
This drives all that we do.
Sure, it’s not always easy, but this journey that we’re on together comes with its own reward. This pursuit of independence brings with it the dignity of control over our own lives.
And everyone deserves the right to pursue that.
Underpinning our mission is the Personhood approach, which is the feeling or sense of self we get from being in a social group, and what we do within that group.
When our surrounding environment is positive and supportive, our self-esteem is reaffirmed and strengthened.
At Brightwater, we are connected by one spirit.
Our spirit is shared when we are caring. We are interested, empathetic partners who empower others and ourselves.
Our spirit is authentic. We are honest, accountable, inclusive and understanding.
Our spirit shows that we are progressive. We listen and share, we are curious and embrace new ways.
Our spirit is courageous. We show leadership and have a go, we are decisive and speak up.
Our shared spirit connects us to our Brightwater community. It guides us to achieve our Mission and pursue the dignity of independence. This is at the heart of everything we do.
At Brightwater, we welcome people with the full diversity of life experiences, thoughts and beliefs. We foster a culture of inclusion, collaboration and innovation where our clients and staff can flourish.
