Blueline is a Tasmanian social enterprise providing commercial laundry services while creating meaningful employment for people who may experience barriers to mainstream employment.

At Blueline, our participants aren’t sitting in a classroom learning about work. They’re working.

And as a Mentor, you’ll be right there alongside them, helping people learn new tasks, build confidence, develop workplace skills and become more independent as they go.

So, what does a Mentor actually do?

As a Mentor, you’ll work alongside people with disability in real workplaces, helping them build skills, confidence and independence on the job.

That might mean supporting someone working within Blueline, or heading out into the community to support a participant with an external employer through our Blueline Works Program.

Blueline Works gives people the opportunity to build real workplace experience while exploring their next employment opportunity. For some, that may lead to ongoing employment at Blueline. For others, it could be the stepping stone to a role with another employer.

And that’s where you come in. You’ll be right there alongside them, providing practical, hands-on support as they learn, grow and take their next steps in employment. And when someone moves into an external workplace, your support doesn’t necessarily stop at the door. You can continue working alongside them for as long as they need it.

The supports you provide might be helping someone learn a new task, breaking a process into smaller steps, building someone’s confidence to have a go independently, working through a workplace challenge or helping someone understand expectations around safety, communication or teamwork.

You’ll work closely with our operational teams and Employment Services Coordinator to make sure participants have the right support while still being part of a safe, productive workplace. And because good support doesn’t end when the shift does, you’ll keep transparent notes,



communicate anything important and speak up when something doesn’t look quite right.

It’s practical. It’s hands-on. And you’ll get to see people develop right in front of you.

You might be our next Mentor if...

- You’re patient without doing everything for someone.
- You know when to step in, when to step back, and when to say, “Have another go, I reckon you’ve got this.”
- You can connect with all sorts of people, explain things in different ways and celebrate progress without needing it to be huge.
- You’re also reliable, observant and comfortable being part of a busy working environment where safety, productivity and great participant support all matter at the same time.

Why Blueline? Because we're serious about meaningful work, and we don't believe there’s only one way to be good at it.

Some people need more time. Some need a different approach. Some just need someone beside them who knows when to encourage, adapt, challenge or step back.

That's where you come in.

At Blueline, we value people who are organised, reliable, creative and curious, and we want people to speak up when they see something that could be done better.

We’re looking for someone with a Certificate III in Individual Support or similar qualification, or with experience in a comparable role and progress towards a qualification. You’ll need strong people skills, initiative, good attention to detail and an understanding of workplace safety.

You'll also need, or be willing to obtain, a Working with Vulnerable People card with NDIS Worker Clearance.

This is initially a casual opportunity, with the potential to progress to part-time employment as the program and business needs develop.

Applications will be reviewed as they are received, and interviews will be conducted progressively. We encourage interested candidates to apply early, as we may interview and appoint before the advertising period closes.

If you’d rather be alongside people doing the work than sitting behind a desk talking about it, we'd love to hear from you.
