As an Employment Advisor for Social Model I get the opportunity to work with young NDIS participants to help them transition smoothly from school to work.I take a person-centred and strength-based approach to help my clients… - Determine what they are interested in, good at, and enjoy doing - Explore and research the different career pathways available to them - Build their capacity or pursue any training/education they require - Search for jobs and make stand-out applications/interviews - Negotiate with potential employers to ensure mutually beneficial employment contracts - Remain well-supported during the initial stages of employmentAfter completing a degree in Psychology & Sociology, I spent the first 3 years of my career working as a Disability Support & Youth Worker in Newcastle. I then transitioned into the employment space working as a recruiter for non-profit organisations in Melbourne, London, and Manchester for another 3 years.I have now returned to my hometown of Newcastle where I am combining my passion for disability support and advocacy with my significant employment skills. My aim is to provide a quality service that will allow my clients to find rewarding and meaningful employment like I have.
