Customised Employment

Customised Employment empowers people’s choice and control – using a person-centred approach. Customised Employment is a bespoke approach to employment pathways. It is part of a continuum of employment options, such as Disability Employment Services (DES) and Australian Disability Enterprises (ADE’s).Customised Employment is person-oriented. It's designed to find a career pathway that aligns with the passions, hobbies, skills, and goals of the person using the process. Customised Employment brings choice and control in employment to people with disabilities.

Discovery

Getting to Know Me / You

Discovery is a process designed to get to know you and work out your:

strengths
qualities
skills
interests
preferences.

As well as the kinds of support that work best for you.

Job Skill Alaysis Profile

Profile: The Profile is a comprehensive descriptive document that is developed to capture the information gathered during Discovery about the employment seeker. The Profile becomes the written document that informs the Customized Job Development process.

CPE

Describe the item and include any Customized Plan for Employment (CPE): The CPE is a blueprint for employment for the employment seeker. The CPE is developed during a Customized Employment Planning meeting, a meeting that takes place after Discovery is complete and adheres to the values associated with person-directed and person-centered services.

Resume / Customised Job Development

The CPE becomes the basis for all CJD activities undertaken for the employment seeker. Job developers use the CPE “blueprint” to identify, engage, negotiate and customize a job, and any conditions for success needed by the employment seeker, with employers.

NDIS - How to fund Customised Employment

You can get support for customised employment using your National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)show definition plan or through some Disability Employment Services (DES).NDIS participants of working age can access support for employment, including customised employment. You will need a long-term employment goal in your NDIS plan about having a job. You'll also need short-term goals if you're starting out.Many service providers offer customised employment, but remember that you are responsible for making decisions about your support. Customised employment is not about one size fits all or taking the available job. With ROS, it's about finding your strengths matched to an employer for mutually beneficial employment.
