WISE Employment - An outreach service to the Positive Living Centre.
WISE's Disability Employment Services assist people with a disability to obtain and maintain award wage employment within the open labour market. WISE believes people with a disability can successfully work for full award wages if they are given appropriate job matching and support.
Goals:
- To assist HIV positive clients receiving a Centrelink benefit back into the work force in a supportive and client focus way.
- To facilitate the relationship between the client and Centrelink during any workplace transition thereby reducing anxiety and concern
- To excite the client to the possibility of discovering enjoyable, and validating employment to supplement, or to become independent of Centrelink benefits.
- That this process fosters support and encouragement in pace with the client capacity and desires.
A WISE Employment consultant will be visiting the Positive Living Centre monthly during the Wednesdays pantry service between 3-5pm on Wednesday 5 October, providing an opportunity to talk with a consultant to assess your situation.
For more information please contact Deirdre Byrne at the Positive Living Centre, or WISE Employment directly on 9529 3688 and ask to speak to Paul Tesoriero.
