Raelene is a proud Indigenous woman who had never engaged in paid employment; she had been focused on and dedicated to raising her family.
When Raelene first visited the atWork Australia team in Northam, WA, she had a strong sense of what her perfect job would be. She was met by two Job Coaches and was ready to get their support to help achieve her dreams of working as a local taxi driver.
Raelene was unsure of what to expect when she first met with the team at atWork Australia.
With no job history, Raelene had a lack of experience, as well as limited education. Raelene’s Job Coaches, Nicolle and Judy, worked with her to identify her barriers and prioritised what needed to be addressed as the first step in her journey.
Raelene did not have a phone, so being contacted by a potential employer would have been challenging. Nicolle organised a phone for Raelene and they were ready for the next step in her journey.
Nicolle identified that to reach her employment goals, Raelene would need a pre-employment medical check, police clearance, special licence approval and new clothing for her new role. Nicolle and Judy worked to get everything organised; setting Raelene up for success.
Nicolle and Judy were the perfect pair to support Raelene reach her goals. They both provided different supports and had a unique and positive approach.
Raelene has come out of her shell; her confidence is bigger and better than ever. With Nicolle and Judy’s support, Raelene felt seen and appreciated. The pair went above and beyond to provide tailored support to ensure her journey followed a path that was individual to what she needed at the time.
Raelene was successful in securing employment as a local Taxi Driver in a part-time capacity.
“atWork Australia are great. Nicolle and Judy are the best Job Coaches. Without hesitation they got done what needed to be done and I did not have to ask several times for the support I needed.”
