Community Connection Specialist – Inclusive Employment Australia (IEA)

Status Employment Services

Full-time

Connect people with the support they need—to find a job and keep a job

At Status Employment Services, we know that employment changes lives. As part of the employment journey, our Participants have dedicated support to access employers in their area and community. We know that our Participants often need access to essential supports—housing, financial help, mental health services, as well as a foot in the door to an employment opportunity.

That is where you come in

We are looking for a Community Connection Specialist to join our team and lead the charge in building strong, effective partnerships with local employers and community organisations. Your background in sales and community services, or both, will help our Participants, people with disability and other barriers to employment, get the support they need to move forward in their lives and into long-term sustainable employment.

The Opportunity:

Our Community Connection Specialists will build and maintain referral pathways with community services to meet our Participants' diverse needs. You will play a key role in understanding what is happening in the local community by connecting people with the right programs and services whilst working closely with our Employment Coaches to create wrap-around support plans to give people the best shot at securing a sustainable employment pathway.

This is a role for someone who is passionate about making connections—with people, with programs, and with possibilities.

About You:

Our successful candidate will bring:

a flair for building and maintaining internal and external relationships

confidence in applying sales and marketing skills to promote services, engage employers, and identify new opportunities that lead to sustainable job outcomes.

an enthusiasm to identify opportunities which support people with disability to thrive in their community

the ability to work autonomously alongside a high-performing team

experience working within a dynamic and fast-paced environment

a track record of driving results and achieving performance targets

Qualifications in Certificate III in Employment Services, Community Services, Disability Services or similar, or a willingness to complete a formal qualification, fully supported by Status, as part of your employment journey with us

Eighty9 Limited (ABN 88 485 417 134 / ACN 668 673 121) is a Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG) and, as the parent entity of Status we are able to offer our employees salary sacrificing benefits, including Fringe Benefit Tax exempt payments of up to $15,900 per annum (Full-Time and Part-Time positions only)

Access to an Employee Assistance Program

A well-structured fully supported induction program, with further development and training provided

Support from an internal team of dedicated specialists who will bring community connections, employer engagement, and on-the-job support to compliment and strengthen each Participant's employment journey
