We want the very best people working with us to make a difference to child health.
That's why we cultivate excitement and reward productivity to ensure that we continue to attract ambitious and talented people to our teams.
The Kids offers a supportive and flexible workplace for those balancing families and careers, and we strive to ensure our work environment is safe, family-friendly, eco-friendly and culturally sensitive with equal opportunity for all. We embrace modern ways of working, with a focus on flexibility, adaptability and teamwork.
We've developed a strong and transparent performance development framework, underpinned by professional and skills development strategies. And we're committed to developing career paths, building leadership skills and implementing strategies to improve recruitment and retention of Aboriginal staff.
We do all this so that we'll be a great organisation in the eyes of our staff, supporters and other stakeholders.
Rewarding research excellence
At The Kids, we actively encourage and promote excellence in both our research and our researchers. We recognise that our people are our greatest asset, so building capacity and excellence in them is a major priority.
We believe that the way we reward research excellence is better than anywhere else in the nation. Find out more about the ways we reward and support our researchers.
