Employment Facilitator Services for the Adelaide Region

⁠⁠⁠The Department of Jobs and Small Business is seeking an Adelaide Employment Facilitator to provide a local, full-time, individual person point of contact and, in collaboration with employment service providers, work directly with workers to connect them with training and job opportunities and link them with existing support. The Employment Facilitator will also be connecting unemployed job seekers with employers and employment service providers.

The timeframe for the delivery of Employment Facilitator services to the region is from 1 September 2018 to 30 June 2020. The Employment Facilitator role is the Australian Government’s way to provide retrenched workers and other jobseekers with a range of assistance and access to employment services.

The Employment Facilitator is to be based in the Adelaide region to provide a local point of contact. The Employment Facilitator role is not expected to deliver the same or similar services as jobactive, but to work in conjunction with employment service providers in the region and other relevant parties, including employers, to connect retrenched workers and other jobseekers with job outcomes.

The Facilitator will also act as a liaison with the wider community to connect jobseekers with employment and training programs, including jobactive, and to work with employers to improve participation in government funded programs.

The Employment Facilitator may also be required to assist in the delivery of future initiatives such as structural adjustment programs, and to work directly with different groups of workers to connect them with existing support.
