Sue Raw GAICD
Chief Executive Officer
It was the opportunity to help make a difference which inspired Sue to join the team at Baptist Care SA.
“It’s working within an organisation that serves in a really practical way – for those who have practical needs, or who don’t have a voice, or those who just need help in order to do day-to-day life.”
Karen Brook
General Manager People and Culture
Kate McGarry
General Manager Community Services
Kate is the General Manager Community Services of Baptist Care SA. As a social worker, practice, social policy, leadership and advocacy have been the cornerstone of her work. She has worked primarily in the community service sector in not-for-profit organisations both in South Australia and the Northern Territory for 20 years.
Kate is committed to being a strong ally to Aboriginal peoples and communities, along with improving practice and creating innovative services to enable people to receive quality services which make a difference and generate positive change.
In recent years Kate was part of designing and delivering the innovative Toward Home Alliance redesign of homelessness service delivery in Adelaide, and supporting the design and implementation of Baptist Care SA’s Tapa Marnirni-apinthi Practice Framework (Kaurna for Creating Change) which is a key enabler for Baptist Care SA becoming a Restorative organization.
Grant Pearson
General Manager Mission and Business Development
Striving to bring social justice to the community using a caring and faith-based response, Grant joined the team at Baptist Care SA.
Taking a respectful approach to his work, he wanted to engage in restorative practices to help people thrive.
“Seeing that you’re part of making a difference in the community is important for me,” he says.
“Seeing people flourish and be empowered; that’s what excites me.”
History
We began in 1913 when the community of the West End Baptist Church started the West End Baptist Mission to provide a safe place for people living on the streets.
Strategic Ambitions
Aligned with our mission of expressing God’s love and compassion for people, especially those at risk by journeying with them towards their full potential.
