Inclusive Employment Australia client, Ken, was referred to atWork Australia by a friend when he was looking for work.
Ken lives with anxiety and felt atWork Australia would be a good fit.
Together with Job Coach, Terry, Ken found he preferred work with limited interactions directly with customers.
He was fine being around people but found working too closely with people exaggerated his anxiety.
He really wanted a hands-on job, where he felt he was contributing.
Terry supported Ken to gain work as maintenance worker.
Ken found this was the perfect fit for him as it used his strengths and abilities, prioritised his mental health and he enjoyed life more.
But over time his hours reduced, and he returned to Terry, who worked with Ken to find a new maintenance job.
Ken was connected to Jacks K9 Kennels by atWork Australia.
“I found the perfect role for me,” said Ken.
After starting his perfect role, Ken was required to go in for surgery. He was supported by In Work Support Coach, Shannon, during this time.
Shannon ensured Ken was ensuring he had all the right medical clearances before returning to work. She kept his mind at ease that his job was safe while he was away recovering from surgery.
She was by his side as he returned to the job he thrives in, supporting with work related clothing for the upcoming summer months.
“atWork Australia didn’t push me into other work but worked with me to find a role I enjoy again,” said Ken.
