A shining example
Staff stories
Meet Glen Brun, who 30 years later is still spreading his shine to keep residents safe.
He’s the Cleaning Supervisor at Uniting AgeWell Hawthorn Community and is happy to report that the sparkle hasn’t faded from his job.
Prior to this he was at other Uniting AgeWell sites, including setting up the cleaning regime at Preston Community and helping Andrew Kerr Care Community set up their cleaning trolleys and transition to microfiber mops when they became part of Uniting AgeWell.
“I know all the Hawthorn residents by name and always say good morning to them,” he explains. “But still, the best thing about the job is being part of the Uniting AgeWell family.”
Glen started his career in aged care by working as an orderly and doing odd jobs at one of the residential sites. “Age care chose me!” he says.
Outside of work, Glen lives in Croydon and loves going camping with his wife and two children. He loves taking his van up to the Murray and cooking on his Webber out in the bush.
