RECRUITING IN OREWA

Miranda Smith Homecare is keen to hear from potential carers as it moves to expand its operations into Orewa, north of Auckland city. With a strong presence in the Auckland region, Miranda Smith Homecare sees it as a logical step to put a co-ordinator in Orewa and focus on offering its services to the large population of elderly who may want to spend a few more years in their own homes rather than move to rest homes. Auckland area manager Rebecca Gadston-Green says staff are in the process of setting up networks in the Orewa region, where Gwen Prenderville will be co-ordinator, and the agency is keen to hear from people who have the right skills to work in the homecare industry. In the meantime, Miranda Smith Homecare service co-ordinators are in the process of visiting all their Auckland region clients for a catch-up and to check if any re-assessments are required.
