Sylvanvale Foundation is a dynamic, growing organisation with a commitment to service and excellence. We are about community and people. We aim to nurture a talented and committed workforce, build confidence and encourage open communication. Diversity is an integral part of our culture and critical to our continued success. We share a clear vision and common goals. Our challenge is to make life better; for the people we support, our staff, and our communities. There are four main ingredients to our success:

1. Put people first
2. Encourage ownership of the Sylvanvale Foundation Mission
3. Value individuality and encourage diversity
4. Cultivate open communication and foster positive working relationships

We value trust and openness because they make innovation possible. We also encourage all staff to be both entrepreneurs and leaders, we can all lead from any position and we encourage involvement and participation so we can make Sylvanvale an even better place to work.
