IFYS Careers
About Us
For over forty years IFYS has pursued opportunities that create change, develop awareness and strengthen the human spirit. Our vision is to research, educate and provide support services that assist people in need to reach their full potential and participate in a just society.
We recognise our people make the difference, and as such, we continuously assess and enhance our framework of support. We readily implement new practices and procedures, such as the Sanctuary Model of Care, which actively promotes emotional, social, moral, and physical well-being for both our staff and customers.
Our Values
Integrity
We use integrity to ensure we are always doing the right thing, not what benefits us personally (even if no one is watching).
Respect
We value and respect the diversity of our staff, foster carers and volunteers. We always need to show respect for others’ choices and help to achieve them (even if we disagree).
Inclusiveness
Being mindful and respectfully curious about individual differences and cultural backgrounds enables us to behave in an inclusive way.
Compassion
Compassion is a genuine empathy with others to help them to manage, learn and grow without judgement.
Teamwork
Choosing what is best for the group, with our services users, colleagues and external collaborators.
Our Sanctuary Commitments
The Sanctuary Model embeds workplace practices that create positive culture change for all employees and service users.
