When Workforce Australia client, Simon, started working with atWork Australia in Hindmarsh, South Australia, he was already working.
Simon was a Butcher but was working in a toxic work environment with very few hours.
He expressed to his Job Coach, Anjana, that he had no belief in himself, or his ability to find another employer.
Anjana spent time with Simon and worked with him to build up his self-belief and motivation. She became his personal cheerleader, someone who believed in him and was there to support him.
“Simon was having a tough time. He was unwell, had some family things going on at home, and to add to that his unstable working environment was adding to his stress,” said Anjana.
Anjana, and the atWork Australia team provided flexible support during this time, conducting phone appointments when needed.
Sometimes Simon needed to vent during his appointments, and at other times the appointments were spent building up Simon’s confidence and motivation towards employment.
atWork Australia also supported Simon to complete some car repairs, so he felt he had one thing sorted and off his plate when it came to looking for new work.
Over time, with Anjana and the team in his corner, Simon was feeling more confident that he could change his circumstances.
He found a new part time role as a Butcher, with more hours, and with an inclusive employer.
atWork Australia ensured he could get to work for the first few weeks by providing him with fuel vouchers.
Having a new secure role, also improved his family life.
“atWork Australia has been very supportive and motivated me to believe in myself. I’m very happy today,” said Simon.
