About the Job
As an Employment Consultant, you will use your skills to support and guide clients to attain suitable, meaningful employment opportunities that lead to sustainable employment outcomes. You will use your customer service skills to build rapport with your clients, assist them on their employment journey, and to overcome barriers to employment. The Fairfield area is recognized for its rich cultural diversity, with a significant population of refugees encountering various language and cultural barriers. Proficiency in the local languages is not only advantageous but essential for effective communication and support. In the Fairfield region, Arabic is widely spoken. Adopting language diversity will enhance our ability to connect with and assist the communities we serve.
