At 65 years old, Sio lives with medical conditions including early onset dementia. He also relies on public transport.
Without work, Sio was finding himself bored at home, and his finances diminishing. He wanted to return to work as quickly as possible.
Sio had never required support before to find work. He had a wealth of work experience, but he needed to find the right employer within walking distance or public transport to his home.
When he was connected with atWork Australia in Campbelltown, Sio was introduced to the employer engagement consultant, Janine, for support to be connected to potential employers.
He would attend the office multiple times a week to hear of any new opportunities. Janine worked closely with Sio, determined to find him the right opportunity.
A local McDonalds restaurant was hosting an information session at the local office on the many roles on offer, and so that clients could meet some of the team. Janine encouraged Sio to attend, as she knew the team would benefit from his drive to work, and his positive attitude.
Even better, the McDonalds was within walking distance from his home.
Sio is now cleaning the restaurant at night and said he feels like part of the McDonalds family.
“I met Janine shortly after connecting with atWork Australia,” said Sio.
“She has always been helpful, meeting me regularly to source vacancies and helping me attend interviews.”
“I now have a secure role. I am very happy. I now have the McDonalds team as part of my life.”
“This means so much as I have always worked since I was 17 and have never had a problem getting work but was finding it very difficult this time,” said Sio.
