Louise had a job, however it was ruining her self-esteem and making her unhappy. Her hours were unreliable, and she often only got shifts on the weekend, meaning she would miss out on family events.
She believed the lack of hours, and poor shifts was due to her age. At 64, Louise quit her job and came to atWork Australia for assistance to find something more meaningful and sustainable.
Louise wanted a full-time job, and was looking for work in hospitality, events, or cleaning.
Her Job Coach Nur suggested a cleaning role with an employer atWork Australia regularly worked with.
She knew the employer would be supportive and understanding, who would be able to offer Louise full-time work, with no weekend work.
Seeing Nur believe in her helped Louise feel more motivated and confident about employment.
To prepare Louise to be referred to the employer, Nur organised a CV, Police check and working with children check, as the cleaning role was at a local school.
Knowing the employer well, Nur also knew they valued their employees having a first aid certificate, so she referred Louise to a course to gain her certificate.
Now prepared, Louise was put forward for the role and was successful in gaining the full-time role as a cleaner. Nur further supported Louise by providing fuel vouchers for her first weeks at the new job.
“My Job Coach, Nur, never lost hope in me. She upskilled me to prepare for my dream job. I cannot thank her enough.” – Louise, atWork Australia Client.
