Brain Injury SA’s ‘Finding and Keeping a Job Service’
A goal for many people living with acquired brain injury (ABI) is returning to work. This can include going back to a job they have previously done, or starting a new position.
Brain Injury SA can help with this process through our ‘Finding and Keeping a Job Service’. This is a service that has been developed specifically for people with a brain injury to be supported in rejoining the workforce. We understand that this can be a challenging experience and can help by;
- Completing assessments to understand your strengths, difficulties and specific needs and what would be required in a work situation for you.
- Explore potential work opportunities tailored to you; including paid, voluntary, and micro-enterprise work.
- Test and trial different ideas in carefully selected workplaces with you, maximizing on your abilities and capacity.
- Supporting you to develop confidence in your abilities, by sharing ideas and experiences in a group.
- Linking in with a Disability Employment Service Provider (DES) if needed to further facilitate your return to work goal.
