About Your Role
Customised Employment (CE) is an evidence-based approach to assisting people with significant disability to achieve their employment goals and participate in the labour force. The CE process has four distinct phases:
- The discovery phase identifies the person’s interest and abilities and develops self-determination.
- The job planning phase conducts an employment, business and cultural scan to find the best fit.
- The job development and negotiation phase focuses on developing relationships and person-centred employment opportunities in partnership with the employer and employee.
- The post-employment support phase provides ongoing support, developing natural support within the workplace and monitoring the employment relationship.
We would like a person with passion for disability services and existing knowledge of employment counselling and advocacy to join us initially on a 12-month contract in our CE practice. The key accountabilities of the role include:
- Identifying and arranging an optimal fit between the individual, the employer, the job tasks, and the supporting environment.
- The ability to see things from different perspectives and creative thinking.
- Delivering the Customised Employment (CE) model.
- Managing all four phases of CE.
