Our employers

IDEAL Placements have been assisting employers in our region meet their recruitment needs since 1995. We have extensive experience in developing an understanding of an employers’ business needs and culture, so that we can match candidates with disability appropriately.

When you hire an eligible IDEAL Placement’s job seeker our Job Coordinator will:

·         Work with you to understand and meet your skills and labour needs so that we can match your vacancy with the most suitable job seekers 

·         Assist you to design jobs that incorporate the necessary flexibilities to successfully employ people with disability

·         Assist with induction and provide on the job support to you and your new employee

·         Help you access a range of wage subsidies which offer financial assistance to employers who employ eligible participants and are designed to encourage employers to provide sustainable employment.

·         Help you access the Employment Assistance Fund (EAF). The EAF helps people with disability and their employers by providing financial assistance for work-related equipment, modifications and services.

If an employee can’t reach the level of productivity you require our Job Coordinator can help you access the Supported Wage System (SWS). The SWS enables employers to pay a productivity based wage to people whose work productivity is reduced as a result of disability.

IDEAL Placements have job seekers who are ready, willing and able to meet your business needs.
