How the NDIS Can Help You in Your Job Search

Getting a job is one of the most empowering things a person can do. It’s about more than just a paycheck—it’s about building independence, gaining confidence, and contributing to the community. But let’s be real: the job-hunting process can feel quite overwhelming, especially if you have a disability.

That’s where the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) steps in. Through this government-funded program, individuals with disabilities are able to access a range of support services designed to help them find and keep the right job.

In this article, we’ll break down the specific employment supports you can take advantage of as an NDIS participant as well as how The Personnel Group can make accessing these services simple and stress-free.

Personalised Career Planning

Before diving into job applications, it helps to have a clear idea of what kind of work suits your interests, skills, and long-term goals. As one of the top NDIS employment support providers in the country, we at The Personnel Group deliver personalised career planning support to participants to guide them through their journey toward finding and keeping a job with the NDIS. With our guidance, NDIS participants can explore their job options, assess their strengths, and identify career opportunities that align with their aspirations.

This service isn’t just about finding a job—it’s about finding the right job, one that matches your personal goals and sets you up for long-term success.

Resume Writing Assistance

Creating a strong resume is crucial for making a good first impression on potential employers, but it can be tough to know where to start. Resume writing is another NDIS employment support we offer to help participants showcase their skills, experience, and accomplishments in a way that stands out to employers.

Whether you’re new to the job market or have years of experience, this service can help you create a resume that highlights what makes you unique and ready for the workforce.

Interview Preparation and Coaching

Interviews can be nerve-wracking, especially if you don’t have much experience with them. Fortunately, through our interview coaching assistance, we’ll help you overcome any negative thoughts and feelings you have about job interviews. This service includes tips on how to answer common interview questions, practice sessions to build confidence, and strategies to help manage any pre-interview jitters.

By the time your interview comes around, you’ll feel more prepared, relaxed, and ready to impress.

Job Search and Placement Assistance

Finding job opportunities can sometimes feel like searching for a needle in a haystack, but you don’t have to go it alone. Our job placement support aims to connect NDIS participants with employers who value diversity and inclusion in their workforce. Whether you’re looking for part-time, full-time, or even supported employment, this service helps match you with roles that align with your abilities and interests.

With job placement assistance, you’ll have a dedicated team helping you find roles that fit your strengths, making the job search less overwhelming.

Ongoing Employment Support

Landing the job is just the beginning. For many NDIS participants, ongoing support is essential to staying employed and thriving in the workplace. This might include job coaching to help with any on-the-job challenges, assistance with workplace accommodations, and advice on navigating workplace relationships or responsibilities.

Having the right support in place can make a big difference, helping you not only keep the job but also grow and develop in your career over time.
