Based in Altona, this is your chance to join MEGT's Employment Services division and play a key frontline role delivering the Workforce Australia contract. You'll work with participants facing a range of barriers, develop work‐readiness, and secure long‐term employment or training pathways.
You'll be part of a supportive, high‐performing team that lives MEGT's Purpose and Values every day. This is a fast‐paced, KPI-driven and varied role where you'll balance structured appointments with the unexpected.
