Andrew’s employment journey began with a clear vision: he wanted to work outdoors, combining his passion for car washing and yard maintenance. Through Forrest Personnel’s NDIS innovative Discovery Process, Andrew was able to express his ideas and identify areas where he would like to increase his independence.

The breakthrough came when Gilmour Plumbing & Gas approached Forrest Personnel’s Labour Hire team, seeking someone to handle garden maintenance and vehicle washing. This opportunity perfectly aligned with Andrew’s goals, and his mentors at Forrest Personnel were able to help him secure the position.

With side-by-side coaching, role mentoring, and instructional guidance throughout his paid employment Andrew has become a valued and respected member of the Gilmour Plumbing team.

As Andrew’s confidence has grown, so have his responsibilities. He has embraced new challenges and expanded his role, all while receiving continuous on-the-job support from his mentors. This holistic approach has enabled Andrew to not only meet but exceed the requirements of his position.

This experience has not only helped Andrew achieve his employment goals but has also boosted his confidence and independence.

By creating a bridge between job seekers with specific needs and employers seeking dedicated workers, we can develop a win-win situation for all involved. With the right support and opportunities, individuals can overcome challenges and find meaningful employment that aligns with their passions and goals.
