This role is suited to someone who thrives in a fast‑paced, people‑focused environment where no two days are the same. It is both challenging and deeply rewarding,



making it ideal for individuals with strong customer service or community engagement experience who are seeking the stability of a full‑time role with meaningful impact.

About the role

As an Employment Partner, your role is to support people with disability to prepare for, secure, and maintain meaningful employment with inclusive and supportive employers. You will receive a comprehensive induction and ongoing training to ensure you feel confident and capable in the role.

In an average week, you will:

- Work collaboratively with jobseekers to understand their strengths, interests, motivations, and employment goals.
- Support jobseekers to build confidence and capability, including connecting them with training, development opportunities, or additional supports.
- Provide tailored post‑placement support to help jobseekers settle into employment and thrive in their roles.
- Build strong relationships with local employers, promoting inclusive employment practices and advocating for jobseekers.
- Proactively engage and partner with organisations to identify suitable roles and create pathways to employment.
- Maintain accurate documentation and ensure all jobseeker information is completed and compliant — administrative tasks make up approximately 30% of the role.
- Experience the genuine reward of helping someone secure a meaningful employment opportunity that has the potential to positively change their life.

What you'll bring

You don't need to have worked as an Employment Partner before. We provide comprehensive training, ongoing support and the opportunity to develop the skills and knowledge you need to succeed.

We're more interested in your approach, your ability to connect with people and your passion for making a difference. People who thrive in this role often bring:

- A genuine passion for people: You enjoy meeting new people, building relationships and helping others feel supported, understood and valued.

- Confidence and communication skills: You're comfortable having conversations,



building relationships with employers and advocating for inclusive employment opportunities.
- Motivation and drive: You enjoy working towards goals, take pride in your achievements and are motivated to deliver positive outcomes.
- Organisation and attention to detail: You're comfortable using computers, managing administration and keeping accurate records.
- Initiative and a proactive approach: You're someone who gets out there, builds connections and looks for opportunities to make things happen.
- A positive and encouraging attitude: You know how to motivate others, build confidence and celebrate progress, no matter how big or small.
- A team-focused mindset: You enjoy sharing ideas, supporting colleagues and working together to achieve the best outcomes.

If you come from a background in customer service, retail, hospitality, sales, recruitment, community services or another people-focused role, we'd love to hear from you.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone with the right attitude, a willingness to learn and a genuine desire to make a difference. You don't need to tick every box to be a great fit for our team.

We are guided by our values:

- Integrity – We are honest, transparent, and accountable.
