It focuses on person-centred support, employer engagement, and creating lasting inclusion in the workforce.

About the Role

As a Career Development Advisor, you will drive inclusive employment outcomes by connecting people with intellectual disability to local job opportunities. This is a front-line, target-driven role where you'll combine case management with proactive employer engagement to create sustainable employment matches that benefit both the individual and the business.
