23-year-old Disability Employment Services client Mustafa is a NDIS participant who lives with Cerebral Palsy and an intellectual disability.
Mustafa has a very positive outlook on life and a clear vision for his employment goals.
After spotting the atWork Australia office in Guildford, which was near his home, he reached out for support to find employment. His goal was to work in administration to be able to financially support his long-term goals.
Mustafa is also studying communication and criminology at the University of Technology in Sydney and participating in acting training classes to pursue acting.
But in the meantime, he wanted to work in an administration job to financially support those goals.
Mustafa’s Job Coach, Aysel, approached a small family day care business. After advocating for Mustafa, and sharing information about his positive attitude, and determination. The employer agreed to give Mustafa a chance in an administration role.
Aysel, and the employer, created a unique position for Mustafa to allow him to gain skills, experience and work towards financial independence.
He was then supported by In Work Support Coach, Charan, and together with Mustafa’s NDIS care team, they were able to support him to reach a milestone in his employment. He has just completed six months in his administration role.
Charan supports Mustafa in a variety of ways including communication with his employer, developing strategies to cope with change or work-related pressure.
Through these discussions, Mustafa was offered access to our in-house allied health wellness services for further support.
