    • Manager, Disability Employment Services
      • Jul 2002 - May 2010

      Held a range of roles, including Vocational Rehabilitation Consultant; Coordinator, Transition to Work Program; Manager, Disability Employment Service. Ultimately oversaw program operations and up to 30 staff in a government funded service dedicated to assisting people overcome their barriers to employment. Key achievements were program development for Disability Employment Network and Vocational Rehabilitation Services (includes development of guidelines and relevant forms), delivery and achievement of Key Performance Indicators which ensure continuing business success with government funded programs. Functions achieved with a high level of success have been compliance with contractual obligations, consistent high performance with respect to service standards, and detailed monitoring of program performance. Demonstrated leadership skills have fostered collaborative teamwork, supported learning and development of staff, implemented strategies for performance improvement and representing the company’s positive image in the wider employment services sector. I have managed the growth of the department from 8 staff (managing 211 cases) to 30 staff (managing 675 cases). Using solution focussed problem solving I have maximised service delivery in a rapidly changing environment while keeping a focus on business viability. Show less
