All Things Equal (ATE) is a Melbourne hospitality business with inclusion built into everything we do. Through our cafés, cooking school and catering, we provide award-wage employment, purposeful training and real pathways into hospitality careers for people with disability. We exist to bridge the gap between people with disability and the wider community.

Since opening in 2021, we’ve trained more than 84 participants, employed 31 young people with disability, paid over $600,000 in award wages, and watched 11 trainees move into jobs with mainstream employers.

The role

We’re looking for skilled, experienced hospitality people to support trainees in our Employment Pathway Program as they begin their hospitality careers.

In our busy Hawthorn café, you’ll help trainees build confidence, skills and professionalism on the job. You’ll:

- guide trainees through hands-on learning during real service
- give encouragement, clear feedback and practical instruction
- help trainees build independence, resilience and job-ready skills
- create a supportive, empowering space where everyone can learn and grow

About you You’re an experienced hospitality professional who brings warmth, energy and genuine care to every interaction. You love engaging with customers and know how to make people feel welcome. You lead by example: professional,



patient and calm under pressure.

You connect easily with people of all abilities and backgrounds, and you enjoy helping others learn. You adapt your approach to each person, and you’re a strong advocate for the people you work alongside. Most of all, you’re motivated by inclusion and by work that creates real opportunities for others.

You’ll also need

- availability to work weekends
- an NDIS Worker Screening Check and a current First Aid Certificate (or willingness to obtain these)
