Work for Us

As a company we show responsibility in ensuring job seekers are provided with compassion, understanding, support and opportunity. I love that. Management set clear and transparent expectations - the business is results driven and they have created a culture of ethical behaviour that we can all take pride in. There are no shortcuts when it comes to looking after our job seekers and maintaining integrity as a company. I love that even more.

It is incredibly important to me that I work for an organisation that places a high value on ethics and integrity and this is reflected in all aspects of the business. When we work with our job seekers we recognise them as individuals and treat everyone with respect. We work with some of the most vulnerable people in the community so to see the impact we have on helping people turn their lives around is truly rewarding. What we offer our job seekers is really unique – our Employment Consultants are encouraged to work as a team to get the best outcome for our job seekers.

My journey with Global Skills began more than five years ago and since then I have had many opportunities for promotion, and to work across a number of sites within the business or take on new responsibilities. Hard work is acknowledged and rewarded – it is part of the company culture. It promotes collaboration and creativity and encourages us to go the extra mile. Management provides honest and constructive feedback to enable me to support my teams. This helps me to mentor and motivate staff to improve results for our job seekers and allows for constant self-improvement. All the Managers are very supportive – they listen and jump in with solutions if you need and are only a phone call away if you have an issue or concern. They have built a culture based on transparency and created an environment of trust where our opinions are valued and sought. We are all a close family that is very supportive of each other and where strengths and differences are celebrated.

My journey started with Global Skills 18 months ago after I had been a client for seven months. I was offered an interview by management – after my interview I started as an employment consultant a few weeks later. My knowledge in the employment service industry was limited, prior to starting my current role. Employment services was not an industry I thought about – knew about – since being here I have loved every minute of it. The support I have received has been great which has enabled me to grow as an Employment Consultant and overall as an individual.

Fortunately, I was given an opportunity by Global Skills to complete a traineeship based at our Auburn office. I had always wanted to work in a community service based role but my knowledge was limited regarding opportunities available. I can genuinely say taking that first step with Global Skills changed my life. From the first day I started I knew that Global Skills was a family and prided itself on its key values, Integrity, Collaboration and Empowerment. Within seven months I had completed my traineeship and wanted to push myself to achieve even more within the company. My fellow colleagues at the time who were aware of my capabilities, encouraged me to apply for an internal promotion. Within less than a week I started in Rooty Hill as an Employment Consultant. My time with the company has taught me that you are worth more than you know. You may not see it at the time, but others do. I am truly grateful to be a part of the Global Skills family and pride myself on our values. Most importantly I am grateful that I can now provide opportunities and support to individuals who were in my position over a year ago.

I have worked for Global Skills for five years now. During this time Global Skills has supported me every step of the way from increased professional development training and 1:1 mentoring to help me achieve my personal and career goals. There are plenty of opportunities to develop within the company by taking on extra roles to expand your case management and industry skills. Global Skills is extremely supportive of their staff. Every week there are new opportunities for staff to receive extra training to upgrade their skills. The management team are always on call 24/7. The company has great workplace diversity and is very inclusive for staff and job seekers. I am proud that as a company we strive to offer exceptional customer service and that we have dedicated teams to create a personalised service for our job seekers.

Starting off as a nervous 18-year-old with no past work experience, to now being part of the Global skills family for over a year – while completing a fantastic Traineeship – is truly one of my greatest achievements. I have gained a huge variety of skills to help me assist and support our clients as well as help build my own confidence. I will forever be grateful for our incredibly supportive management team, as well as my amazing co-workers who have all helped me navigate our industry. I learn new things every day and hope to learn more.

I started my journey into employment services three years ago after working in the Community Service field for more than 15 years. From day one Global Skills has been focused on my development and always reward hard work and dedication to the role. Global Skills leadership is transparent and focuses on developing and mentoring its staff to be the best they can be. I am so glad to be working for such a great company.

My employment at Global Skills has been a positive experience. For me, this positive experience is attributed to the sense of community you feel within your team and extended co-workers across the company. To feel like you are part of something great that is changing people’s lives is quite rewarding. Most of us want continuous growth and development opportunities. The constructive feedback and appreciation provided by superiors allows room for personal growth and achievement. I am able to communicate with my managers on any problem whether it be work or home related – they are always reachable and always provide consistent support. I am very grateful to be a part of Global Skills and proud of the service we provide to our clients.

It is my pleasure to be working in a company that truly values their employees as individuals and who do everything to help support them reach their goals. I have been working at Global Skills for three years as an Employment Consultant and recently now also as a Refugee Mentor. Upon graduating from my Diploma in Community Services, I found the opportunity to work with this amazing Global Skills team. Working at Global Skills has given me an opportunity to do something I enjoy, progress my career and grow personally. I am looking forward to many more years with Global Skills.

After retiring from many years in production management at the age of 61, I was given the opportunity to start a new career at Global Skills. This was quite a challenge for me as I had little or no knowledge of this type of work, but with some perseverance and help from my fellow staff members I was able to learn and carry out a number of new and varied work skills. It is one of the most satisfying and rewarding positions that I have held, there is nothing more rewarding than a Global Skills client phoning or coming into the office and announcing that they have found a new job and thanking their case manager and Global Skills staff for their help.

My journey with Global Skills started over a year ago. It has been both a rewarding and fulfilling experience working alongside remarkable people and being able to achieve the best outcome for our jobseekers. I have had many years of experience in the workforce but never have I worked with a company that reflects such great ethics and integrity in all aspects of the business. The company offers great leadership opportunities where the knowledge is limitless. Company culture is also another aspect that is very important to me. Global Skills is a company that truly values their employees as individuals and will do everything they can to help each person reach their goals both professionally and personally. Not only have I grown as an individual whilst working here, but have had the opportunity to work with an amazing team who inspire me to be better and do better every day!

I have worked for Global Skills for over 10 years and wholeheartedly believe what we do every day contributes to ‘making a world of difference’ to the lives of the job seekers we work with. We strive both as a company and individually as staff to ensure all job seekers are treated with respect, dignity, to their individual needs and their support requirements. The management team and staff are passionate about achieving results not only for the company but for our job seekers. There is nothing more rewarding than working for a company that embraces helping people grow and progress on their journey and lives – it’s what we do every day.
