In April, Jay walked into the atWork Australia office in Warrawong desperate for assistance to change his circumstances.
Jay had been living with addiction, and financial instability and wanted to make a change.
His Job Coach, Fariha, discussed our internal wellness services as an option to help with his health and wellbeing.
Sometimes, Jay was unable to make his appointments with Wellness as he didn’t have the funds to purchase phone credit.
The atWork Australia team supported him with grocery vouchers so he could afford phone credit to make his appointments.
Jay worked closely with Fariha to address his work barriers and when he was ready, the atWork Australia team started contacting employers on his behalf.
It wasn’t long before Jay had employment as a general factory hand.
atWork Australia supported Jay to purchase the work-related clothing he needed for his new role, helping him to start his first days in the role with confidence.
He is now progressing in his role and looking to run a second site for his new employer.
“Jay has grown significantly since he received support. His self-esteem and self-worth have improved dramatically,” said Fariha.
“He now walks in with his head held high.”
Having financial stability and a daily routine has helped change Jay’s life.
“Thank you for everything you have done. You have honestly helped change my life,” said Jay.
