This is us
At Ryman, we care about our people. We want them to enjoy their work, get home
safely every day and truly believe in what we do. Because we are committed to
making sure everything at Ryman is “Good Enough for Mum, or Dad”.
What is Ryman all about?
Before you join us, we want to share with you what
we’re all about. Our goal is to give you an insight
into our culture and purpose, so you can work out
how well you might fit in.
We’re looking for people who are excited about
working for Ryman. They need to have the right
attitude and share our passion for what we do.
They will also share our drive and energy to
succeed that really sets us apart.
So, if you’re interested to know more about
working at Ryman, read on. We’re proud of our
culture and excited to share a taste of it with you.
Kindness and care
Kindness underpins everything we do. It’s how we
treat people – our residents and their families,
our teammates, and everyone else we meet.
We show kindness in many ways – from
thinking about how we can help others, to
our commitment to ‘delight not satisfy’.
Working safely is a cornerstone of
how we do things at Ryman.
We strongly believe that the
only thing good enough
for Mum, or Dad, when it
comes to health, safety and
wellbeing is our vision;
  
Everyone home safe and well.
This means working as a team because
we know we’re safer together.
Strong teams
We have always been focused
on building great teams
who work together as one.
We have a diverse range of
people from different cultures and
backgrounds who work with us and
we know that to continue to build strong teams
we need to understand and trust each other.
We want our people to love to learn so that
they’re the best they can be. We have a ‘grow
our own’ philosophy, which means we look
for opportunities to promote from within.
Resilience and composure
We have the resilience to deal with little bumps
along the way, because the results we get for our
residents are worth it.
We rise to challenges when they come our way,
showing determination and perseverance to earn
our success.
Our positivity and optimism helps us overcome any
problems that come up and we always find a way
to get things done. We remain calm, composed and
relaxed when under pressure.
 Strive for excellence
It takes relentless energy to become the best.
We’ve been growing fast for over 30 years and
we’re just getting started.
To produce this growth, we’re focused on
delivering to an extremely high-quality, at pace.
Our people balance a ‘need for speed’ with
producing great results, and the agility to deal
with constant change.
We are committed to improving the way we do
things for the benefit of our residents, their families
and our teams.
Whether it is utilising ground-breaking technology
to give our care teams more time with residents
or using the latest designs for our villages, we’re
always looking to do things better. Because,
as our founder Kevin Hickman liked to say,
“if you think you’ve made it, you’ve had it.”
Communication
We don’t use jargon at Ryman;
we use simple clear language
that gets straight to the point.
This style is frank and honest
but delivered with respect.
We know communication isn’t one
size fits all, so we adapt our style to suit
our audience. We have the courage to speak
up and talk about the important things – even
if they may be difficult – when its required.
Our Ryman characteristics are our way of capturing what it means to be
a great Rymanian – they define who we are, and what is important to us.
Lead and
empower
We lead our teams with
kindness, clarity and support.
By setting clear goals and
expectations for our teams, we
ensure that we are connected to the
Ryman purpose with our long term growth in mind.
Our leaders are committed to empowering
their teams to solve problems, collaborate
and share information. They also won’t shy
away from having the important conversations
that are both positive and constructive.
Does this sound like you?
These things are non-negotiable. They’re
fundamental to all Rymanians. And we
want you to know what we’re about before
you sign-up.
While we’re very proud of what makes
us different, we understand that we may
not be the right fit for everyone. So, if
this doesn’t sound quite right, now is
your chance to let us know.
But, if what you’ve read sounds like a place
you’d love to work, then Ryman could be the
place for you!
