Our people

Grapevine’s power comes from the skilled and passionate people who live and breathe our mission everyday. They bring brilliance to our work.

Two women, one white and one mixed race, sit side by side in a cafe setting smiling for a photo and wearing slogan t-shirts. One says "Make it happen" and the other reads "I got this". They are Lynn and Naomi from Grapevine.

We have a strong culture of helping people uncover their potential. This supports our team team to perform at its best by:

  • Being accountable to the people we serve
  • Having freedom and trust to do what is right
  • Support to stay true to people’s dreams
  • Trust and encouragement to make decisions autonomously
  • Support to be curious, exploratory and playful
  • Modelling and transmitting our key skills and beliefs
  • Comfort with uncertainty when necessary.
