WHAT WE DO

We at CVGT Australia are proud to be part of a For-Purpose charitable organisation. Our purpose is clear: to 'connect more people to meaningful work'.

Plus, we've been around for ages! Almost 40 years, in fact. From humble beginnings in Country Victoria, we now have coverage across 3 states: Tas, Vic and NSW where we offer services under a range of programs such as jobactive, Disability Employment Services, Group Training, ParentsNext and Career Transition Assistance.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As an Employment Mentor you will be part of our newly created Specialist Disability Employment Team to work specifically with participants in our partnership projects.

This is not a traditional disability employment services role. You will provide intensive, person-centred and customised assistance to participants with intellectual and developmental disabilities to realise their potential and become successful in their employment aspirations. Working with a caseload much lower than the norm, and with the support of a great team of colleagues, you will have the time to invest in providing a high-quality service to each participant, their family or carer, employers, and our partner organisations.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Our Specialist Disability Employment Inclusion Coordinators have:

  • A passion for disability employment and a strong commitment to person-centred and customised employment placements;
  • Excellent communication, relationship-building, negotiation and problem-solving skills;
  • Knowledge of how to evaluate the skills and interests of individuals, and identify and source suitable employment opportunities; and
  • Demonstrated knowledge or willingness to develop an understanding of the contractual requirements, Disability Service Standards, and evidence based best practices.

The successful candidate will be employed on a full time, ongoing contract and will work across Melbourne, in predominately community-based settings, with a convenient base location negotiable.

An opportunity also exists for a member in the team to be appointed as Team Leader which would involve additional administration and leadership opportunities.

If this interests you, please indicate in your application and we can discuss this further at the time of interview.

IN RETURN, CVGT OFFERS YOU

  • Competitive remuneration package of up to approximately $95,000 which includes:
    • Base Salary
    • Company car with private use
    • Not-for-profit salary packaging
    • iPhone and laptop
    • Superannuation
    • Access to ongoing training and professional development
    • Career opportunities with CVGT Australia sites across three states
    • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

A position description is attached.
