Hi everyone, yes we're still here 😂 We have just been absolutely flat out doing what we love, but today we had to stop and share this one.
Today, Jeshua started his first ever paid job. When we first started supporting Jeshua, we made a commitment to him and his mum that we would do everything we could to help him find work. Somewhere that would understand his disability, respect him and give him a fair chance.
Today, that happened.
There have been multiple back and forth phone calls, clearances, applications, paperwork, appointments and follow ups to get here. Jeshua's support worker Malcolm has been a huge part of making this happen, helping him get organized and motivated, sending him reminders, checking in, keeping things moving and just being there for him. His mum, sister and previous support workers have also played such an important part in helping him get here.
And of course, Jeshua himself. After facing a setback with another employer, this was the victory he deserved.
He is all smiles and ready for his next shift.
This is exactly why we created Empower to Employment.
Our employment support is backed by a highly experienced Employment Consultant who has spent years specialising in complex disability caseloads. We understand that finding work for someone with a disability isn't as simple as handing them a resume and sending them off to apply for jobs. You need to understand the person, what they need to succeed, what could get in their way and, importantly, find an employer and workplace that fits.
Jeshua is a beautiful example of what can happen when the right people come together and someone is finally given that chance.
Congratulations Jeshua. We are so bloody proud of you. You earned this one💛
