Rise recognises people with disability have the skills, knowledge and lived experience to help us create a better work place. Call us to find out about current opportunities.
Rise and several other non-profit organisations have committed to increasing the number of people with disability employed within their respective organisations. Employing people with disability attracts new skills and brings a wealth of creativity and innovation in all aspects of the business. We are now collaborating with people who have disability. They are part of a co-design/co-production Steering Group who advise and guide the implementation of this initiative to increase employment opportunities. The group advises Rise and other organisations on the issues facing people with disabilities when looking for work, e.g. going through interviews, workplace environment, resources, transport and any other issues that are challenges to employment – as well as solutions to those challenges. Listen to members of the committee talk about their passion for supporting people to find a job. Monica Low Monica works at the front desk of Rise’s Yirra Mia social centre. “It has given me the confidence to actually talk about it and to me that’s a very important thing because it means I can help others who might be struggling with a mental health illness.”
