Employment Services Delivery (ESD) 6

As an ESD 6, you’ll ensure the provision of appropriate employment services to people with disability, and have effective links and relationships with employers. You’ll have a significant practical knowledge of the work area and services provided and will assist senior managers with planning and evaluation of services/supports offered.

 

As such, you’ll often work in a supervisory team leader role, providing performance feedback to individuals in the team, or may personally manage a complex caseload. Plus you’ll ensure appropriate information and referral processes and administration systems are in place. 

 

Qualifications and experience

 

Employers will specify qualification or equivalent experience requirements for particular roles at this level.

But don’t be too worried if you don’t have any formal qualifications or training in disability, as you’ll almost certainly have other skills, experience, capabilities and transferable qualifications that are extremely useful and that will help contribute to having a successful and enjoyable career in the disability sector.

 

Having the right attitude and a desire to make a difference are two other important qualities that you’ll need as an ESD 6

 

ESD 6 roles are rewarding and challenging. Every day you get to make a positive difference to the lives of people with disability by supporting them find meaningful work.
