Employment Placement Service - Nelson 2022

Nelson Region is committed to reducing the number of working age people who need to rely on a benefit, as a means of improving economic independence and social wellbeing. We are currently seeking services to assist our clients to move towards or into sustainable employment. The aim is to draw on expertise within the Non-Government Organisation (NGO) and private sectors to achieve this. This relates to the purchase of an Employment Placement service in the Nelson region. Specifically, for the Blenheim, Greymouth, Motueka, Westport and Nelson/Richmond areas. Participants will receive expert tailored support, employment related training and up skilling that will successfully assist them to exit benefit or move towards sustainable employment. Once employment is achieved both the client and employer will receive intensive pastoral support for up to 182 days. During this time the Provider will support the needs of both the client and the employer, where appropriate to create a sustainable employment outcome.
