Ilaissane is the primary carer of her family including her mother.
She came to atWork Australia, Punchbowl NSW as a Workforce Australia client looking for a part-time role to support her family.
Here, she was connected to Job Coach, Zubda, who worked with Ilaissane to secure a role as a Home Care Support Worker.
Zubda helped Ilaissane to gain her police check and she was eager to start work. However, after a few weeks Ilaissane found she wasn’t reaching her financial goals as she was only working around six hours per week.
Zubda started looking into other employment opportunities for Ilaissane to increase her hours.
She contacted Employer Engagement Consultant, Felino, who interview Ilaissane and had an idea on a suitable vacancy.
Felino offered the company a wage subsidy to help train Ilaissane so she could increase her hours to reach her goals.
Ilaissane was successful in her new role and was thankful for the opportunity.
atWork Australia supported Ilaissane with credit for her mobile phone so that she was contactable to take on additional shifts and to seek support from Zubda when needed.
atWork Australia also purchased shoes and protective clothing for Ilaissane so she could prioritise her health at work.
After a few weeks in her new role, the In-Work support team from atWork Australia contacted Ilaissane to find out she was thriving in her new role.
“I really appreciate this employment opportunity,” said Ilaissane.
“I’m so happy with my new role and that I can further support my family.”
Ilaissane is now working just over twenty hours a week, which is exactly what she needs to meet her financial and employment goals.
