At Ostara Australia, we are all about people.

Ostara Australia is a not-for-profit organisation that works closely with the Australian Government, communities, and employers to place people disadvantaged through age, health, disability, or cultural background into sustainable ongoing employment.

As Ostara Australia, we work with jobseekers with mental health conditions and help them to find sustainable ongoing employment.

The Role

We are looking for a part-time DES Employment consultant to work in our Burwood office.

As a DES Employment Consultant, you will be responsible for your own caseload of jobseekers and aim to help them to find work or place them within suitable training opportunities in order for them achieve ongoing employment.

Your focus will be to reverse-market your caseload of clients by approaching businesses via phone or meeting in person to enlighten employers about all the countless opportunities your clients have to offer. The aim will be to create mutually-beneficial partnerships, sustainable matches and on a daily basis facilitating small training groups whist achieving your monthly KPI's.

You will possess the ability to empower, encourage and inspire all your clients in equal measure. Sometimes this will involve directing them towards other support services to assist. Other times it may be assisting them with their barriers to work or assisting them with things as simple as their resume preparation or their interview skills. If clients require training or need further assistance on how to get to their dream job, you will help provide them a pathway that they can take to get there.

This role is for those who really want to make a difference and achieve a sense of reward and satisfaction which will eclipse any challenges you face. This is where the magic happens!
