Salvation Army Employment Plus

Nice staff very helpful

I moved to Employment Plus from another service and had been quite nervous, but from the outset, they were incredibly comforting and relaxing. My case manager excels ant recapping our conversations and simplifying information. She speaks to me, not above me, always listens and is in touch with disability. I've achieved all the goals I set out to and more. I highly recommend them, especially for people with disability.

I'm pleased to state that the people at the Wyong Employment Salvation Army, gone well beyond the boundaries of caring for their cases and professionalism in all manners. This is my experience after less than a year with them, following 3 years of forced unemployment due to a brain injury. My cases officers have been a young lady that moved to another branch and my current case officer In my 37 years of working life, I will state honestly that I have never found another Org, NFP, Public or Private, that has treated me with more sensitivity and understanding, and deliverance of service. Prior to joining Employment Plus Salvation Army, Wyong TAFE Campus, I was with another "Employment Provider" and after 18 months I had not received any progress in my endeavours to find a job, not even a single interview or appropriate job lead. I'm progressing very well now, getting closer to my goals and overcoming the psychologal hurdles I face when I was required to seek employment after the all clear to do so by my Neurosurgeon. I give all credit to the selfless dedication of all the staff there and in particular my Case Worker and my friend.

salvation army employment plus wyong My consultant at Salvation Army Employment Plus has been an incredible source of support. She found jobs for me, helped with endless cover letters, guided me through the application process, given me specific support when needed, helped me with fuel cards so i can continue my current work and helped with interview clothes. She's given advice out of working hours and encourages me to keep her up to date at all times. There's no way i would have the confidence to apply for work in so many different sectors and be prepared to do so many new things without the experience of having her as a consultant. The help I was given in the past was dismal in comparison. I think there should be more consultants like her who support their clients to reach out beyond their boundaires, help set achievable goals with down to earth advice and are genuinely engaged in their jobs. The only thing I would like to see more of is free courses that help bolster employability like basic makeup training.

STAY THE SAME . Having good knowledge of how to do a cover letter and resume.

Very proactive service - encouraging, kind and sincere staff and tailored support.

Proactive staff who are kind and considerate, a clean and tidy agency to attend. I enjoyed the time with salvation army employment plus the service was very useful.

Salvation army employment plus has been extremely helpful while i been looking for work while having anxiety. I like that they understand and are always wanting to help.

This is written on about my experience on finding employment under Employment Plus (Ringwood) . I had the opportunity to write a review earlier but felt like I needed a minute and also I wanted to feel completed in my journey into the next chapter. I was redundant at my last work place due to shut down of the company and haven’t had much going on with another job agency for three months when I was advised to go to Salvation Army Employment Plus. I still remember my first day. In walked a girl who was a bit lost, disappointed by then and also starting to get worried about the future of her financial status and then I was assigned to talk to a lady. What a first impression that lady gave ! My spirits were lifted. She was the nicest and kind but then also she means business and I knew things will get done. Because of her work load I was assigned to her collegue after two fortnights, that’s how I met my worker whom I got to work with for few months ( it is tough out there the job market and it will take a bit of time ). I have never had anyone who was on my well being professionally, looking after me and every single detail taken care of for me than her. She’s very respectful of your situation, so helpful, understanding, hands on and would go the extra mile for you day in and out. You’ll feel like you are the only subject matter at hand and that the whole team is just there for you but in fact they and she is helping a few dozens like yourself. Because of my personal circumstances I was not able to accept any job that came my way if so then she would have gotten a job for me in an instance. Instead she sat with me week after week trying different strategies, experimenting new areas unfamiliar to me and customising a path for me that I was comfortable in going forward. I was way open with her than most people I had to associate professionally as I knew no matter what she had my back and believed in me when I doubted my abilities at times. Apart from the fact that she’s a genuinely nice person she’s hard working, easy to work with, well informed and have great work contacts. She uses every minute at the office to help her job seekers, always encouraging but never too invasive as there are many people from different walks of life who enter that door and who may or may not have their limits. As for me with her help and guidance my confidence grew, I became better at interview skills, I started studying (which I love) again, went to training sessions and I felt better about my job situation with every passing day. She may not know this but because of her skills in handling me from the time she started working on my case up to now my situation, the troubles I faced everyday for months were at bay, on hold, paused and I felt so much better like on a path to success. I finally found the job I was looking for and all this was done within a short realistic period and all this was possible because of her hard work and Employment Plus Ringwood. Thank you Employment Plus Ringwood for all the help and guidance given to me. Thank you for looking after me even after I left your place. Thank you for helping me start on my next chapter at my new work place with ease. I wish you great success and I wish for everyone looking for employment meet job providers and professionals like you.

The employee from the Salvation Army Disability support services in Ringwood and Boronia is a highly professional and compassionate employee. I always feel heard when i work with her and it has been an absolute pleasure. I believe i will find employment soon if i keep working with her.

I have been really happy with the Salvation Army, Employment Plus in Lilydale. They are very friendly, welcoming and are more than willing to help you with getting a job. I even had help with going to the post- office to get my working with children check done. Thank you so much for the wonderful help I have received, it's much appreciated!!

The Salvation Army Employment Plus Program helped me in so many ways during my unemployment time. Employment Plus were very patient and helpful while I was looking for work and always encouraged me and gave me tips on how to say the right things during an interview. If I need the Employment Plus help again, I will definitely come back.

Absolutely love working with Salvation Army employment plus! Such amazing people

The people. I found this service excellent. The person I saw listened to what I had to say and referred me for positions that suited my needs, primarily low level of responsibility. When an opening came up at Burlington Berries I got a call to attend an information session and although I did not start with the first intake, my name remained on their books. At a later date I then got an opportunity to start in the fields but was redeployed to the packhouse. Initially I was hesitant and my support person kept an eye out for other openings. Now I have settled into the job. Although it is only seasonal, the season is extensive and I will have the opportunity to continue in the following year.
