Job Description

What does an Employment Consultant do?

Lots of things! 

Employment Consultants focus on appropriate and sustainable employment outcomes for our customers. We manage this in a variety of ways, and we are looking for someone who isn’t shy to pick up the phone and use their networking skills.

This role will be based in our Wollongong office.

In an average day, you’ll be:

• Talking to employers in the local community to create opportunities for our customers.
• Meeting with customers to discuss their progress toward employment.
• Assisting customers with identifying and moving towards vocational goals.
• Coach and train customers to increase their employability skills.
• Building local relationships and partnerships with complementary services to refer our customers to these services when they need
• Reverse market customers in your current case load to prospective employers in the community

We’re looking for someone who:

• Is passionate about achieving the best outcome for our customers, us (Campbell Page), and of course you!

• Is highly motivated and enthusiastic about making a real change in people’s lives
• Can work efficiently while managing a high level of compliance
• Can successfully obtain a National Police Check and Working with Children Check

Your genuine desire to help people while also meeting business objectives will make you a good fit for an Employment Consultant role. We provide full training, and we'll help you turn your skills into a new career in Employment Services.
