Specialised Support Employment
Specialised Support Employment is a program that is available for NDIS participants who require higher than normal levels of support to find and/or keep jobs, or transition between jobs. This program is designed to provide participants with the necessary tools, resources, and support to achieve their employment goals.
One of the key benefits is that it is tailored to meet the unique needs of each participant. The program starts with an assessment of the participant’s skills, interests, and abilities, as well as their employment goals. Based on this assessment, a job coach or employment specialist will work with the participant to identify job opportunities that are a good fit for their skills and abilities.
The job coach or employment specialist will then provide training and support to help the participant succeed in their new role. This may include job coaching, job training, assistive technology, and other forms of support to help the participant meet the requirements of their job.
Specialised Support Employment can also provide support for participants who are transitioning between jobs. This may include assistance with job searching, resume writing, and interview skills. The job coach or employment specialist can also provide support during the transition period to help the participant adjust to their new job.
For NDIS participants who require higher than normal levels of support, finding and keeping employment can be challenging. However, with the support and resources provided , participants can achieve their employment goals and build meaningful careers. Furthermore, the benefits extend beyond the individual participant. By providing training and support to employers on how to provide accommodations and support to employees with disabilities, the program can create a more inclusive and diverse workplace.
In conclusion, the program provides tailored support to meet the unique needs of each participant, and can help individuals with disabilities achieve their employment goals and build meaningful careers.
