Meet Jayde!

Jayde began her role as Allocations Manager at Altaira in 2021 and brought with her a variety of experience within different areas. Her career in customer service began when she was just 13 years old at the corner Deli and included various other jobs until she eventually found her strength in investigating complaints and issues, and putting procedures in place to prevent them from happening again. Jayde believes this is her strength as she is great at relating to people and building relationships. Her experience in customer service and her love for solving problems allows her to help her team with almost any challenge.

Jayde loves that her job allows her to work with the aged care community. She recognises the importance of that stage of life and that aged care residents deserve to be treated with nothing but respect, dignity and kindness. Jayde knows that if through her role at Altaira she can assist to improve staffing gaps at certain aged care facilities, the pressure and stress regular workers endure could be alleviated.  Jayde finds reassurance in knowing all Altaira staff sent to work at these facilities are kind and compassionate and have been through a great training program that equips them with the skills to provide the best care possible.

A vision Jayde has for Altaira is to have it become a name that everyone recognises. She wants the world to know the amazing services we provide and how much they help the aged care community. Jayde would love to see Altaira’s name in every aged care facility, not only our staffing services but also our allied health sector, exercise and health services and functional work assessments.

What is her biggest accomplishment while at Altaira?

The Altaira Allocations team has grown significantly since Jayde first began the team. Jayde describes Altaira as a wonderful place to work with a growing team of ‘champions’ that embraces every challenge they face.

What is the most memorable moment of her life so far, and while working at Altaira? 

Jayde has had so many memorable moments in her life so far but of course two of the best have been welcoming her amazing daughters into the world. She loves watching them grow, learn and experience all their firsts. Similarly with Jayde’s time at Altaira so far, she has had many memorable moments including her first birthday with the company. She had not made anyone aware of her birthday, however when she arrived at work her office was decorated with streamers and ‘happy birthday’ signs, making Jayde feel so loved and at home. Another memorable moment for Jayde at Altaira was when the team reached a major goal they had been working towards, even despite covid breakouts and new government regulations.

When Jayde isn’t working hard in the Altaira office you can find her spending time with her daughters, doing crafts, going on adventures and having picnics. She has also recently rescued a puppy called Gravy that she loves taking on adventures as well. Her other hobbies include clay shooting, playing 8 ball and curling up in the hammock with a good book.
