We support people into employment who have a disability, a permanent injury, or face challenges in gaining employment by:

• Planning to identify what you want to do
• Matching you to the right employer.

A vital part of living the life you want is to have work that has purpose and allows you the freedom of choice of where and how you work.

Our goal is to give you that choice. We take great care to ensure that we have a great fit between employee and employer and that the outcome is beneficial to both parties.

This programme is free when you are referred by a Work & Income case manager. We work with you on an individual basis to develop a career plan that transforms your aspirations and goals into an action plan.

We do this by:

The employment in schools programme is a programme targeting students who are in the last two years of secondary school and face barriers to employment due to disability or learning support needs including long term physical and mental health conditions and those who identify as neuro-diverse.

Career Moves has been selected to work with student’s as we have over twenty years’ experience in providing supported employment and have been contracted to work with schools, students and their families to help to plan and prepare the student for employment when they leave school.  This adds value to and builds on the support provided by the school and other providers by focusing specifically on employment and ‘a good life’.
