Employment Consultant - Colac

AXIS Employment is hunting down our next superstar DES Employment Consultant! Are you up for the challenge?
 

A little bit about us:
Over our 30 year history, AXIS Employment has grown to become one of the top providers of specialised Employment Services across Victoria and South Australia. Today we are supporting over 4000 participants across 3 programs and we’re on track to have helped around 2000 people to find and maintain rewarding employment! Our solid relationships, built over many years, with local employers has continued throughout the recent pandemic, making us and our participants a valuable asset to them as many businesses struggle in the current employment market.

What will I do as an Employment Consultant?
Firstly and most importantly, you will be making a positive impact in the lives of your participants! Each Employment Consultant (or EC’s as we call them) works with a caseload of Job Seekers who you will meet with on a regular basis, building rapport, discovering their skills, identifying their ambitions and working through any potential barriers to them achieving their goals. The main purpose of our DES program is to assist participants in gaining suitable and sustainable employment and this will be a big driver for you. Forging your own relationship with local employers, you will need to reverse-market your Job Seekers to appropriate businesses. The support of an EC doesn’t stop once you have found the perfect job, we continue to assist and motivate our participants to become self-sufficient and give them the tools to make a positive contribution to their lives and their community. 

Who can be an Employment Consultant?  
Anyone who has a real drive to not only achieve targets, but smash them out of the park! No qualifications are necessary! We want a team player who wants to play an important part in the success of our fantastic organisation.  

A key component of being an EC is having empathy towards people who have medical conditions, disabilities or illnesses while also being able to motivate and encourage them to find employment. Communication is a big part of the role - you will be talking to a lot of people, from Job Seekers, employers, other service providers and of course, your fellow work mates. There will be some aspect of travel involved in your week as we service “outreach sites” within the region, but don’t worry, all travelling is done within work hours. As with any job, the stock standard “excellent time management skills, attention to detail, strong computer skills” all apply here too – hopefully these days this goes without saying but we’ve mentioned it anyway. 

You will need to have a current drivers licence, police check and working with children check.

So after all that, why would you want to work with us? 
If you are still reading, then it’s a good indication you are thinking this might be the job for you. Along with the personal satisfaction of helping others, and in addition to our competitive starting annual salary of $64,710, our Staff Benefits Program also offers: 

• a flexible, family-friendly work environment
• private use of a company car (which includes fuel and is completely tax free)
• private use of an iPhone 
• an additional 1% superannuation above the Super Guarantee
• salary packaging options
• 5 weeks annual leave for eligible staff
• 3 bonus days over Christmas
• eligibility for an annual staff bonus
• Employment Assistance Program

The total value of the package on offer is equivalent to $87,435.

Applications, which must include a cover letter and resume, close on Monday 8th April at 9am. But if you're keen, don't wait until the deadline because if the right person comes along, we might just fill the position before this date!
