Workforce Australia client, Shannon, was in the middle of some significant life changes when he was connected to atWork Australia in Mirrabooka, WA.
He was in recovery and looking to make changes in his life. He spent a lot of time in his first appointments talking to his Job Coach, Sanah, about the support he needed to find employment.
Sanah offered our Wellness Services to Shannon to help support him and worked with him to navigate job searching strategies while considering his mental well-being.
Overall, Sanah’s goal was to offer Shannon a holistic approach that supported his goals while managing his recovery and mental health.
“I helped Shannon identify his strengths and areas for improvement when it came to work,” said Sanah.
“We developed tailored job search strategies while we worked to build confidence and stay motivated.”
Through skill development, job searching assistance, and the emotional support provided by the atWork Australia team, Shannon felt confident and empowered. Ready to return to work.
Shannon had many qualifications, tickets and experience, but needed an employer who was supportive to his goals.
Sanah advocated to employers, to ensure Shannon would find a supportive work environment.
She provided Shannon with financial assistance to purchase interview clothes and attend interviews.
In no time at all, Shannon was successful in a FIFO shutdown role, which was in line with his goals.
Shannon is now receiving ongoing support through regular check-ins and access to mental health resources to ensure he can maintain his employment and reach is life goals.
“Over time, Shannon gained confidence, developed new skills, and attained sustainable employment, with atWork Australia remaining a consistent partner in their employment journey,” said Sanah, Job Coach, atWork Australia.
