Getting The Support You Need To Get Back To Work
Recovery from mental illness is a journey – it takes time, understanding and support. Our Worklink team assists Wellink clients who are looking to return to the workforce, by helping them find, and keep, the right job.
We’ll Help With The Tricky Stuff
Your dedicated Worklink employment consultant will work with you to create an employment package that suits your specific needs.
Our services include:
- Planning your employment goals
- Preparing your Curriculum Vitae
- Coaching for interviews
- Support at interviews and feedback afterwards
- Information on funding and benefit issues
- Helping to determine what to say and what not to say to a potential employer about your mental illness
- Job searching
- Negotiations with employers about pay and conditions
- On-the-job training/coaching
- Ongoing support once you have found a job
We Won’t Leave You On Your Own
Our service is not a typical recruitment agency – we won’t just find you the right job and leave you to it (unless you want us to, of course!). Our consultant
will work with you and your
employer each step of the way. That includes as much ongoing contact and support as you need, for as long you need.
