Job Preparation Assistance that Helps Injured Workers Rejoin the Workforce with Confidence
When your injured worker can’t return to their role, KINNECT’s rehabilitation counsellors and return-to-work specialists can help them find their way to new employment, building their confidence and skills in job seeking and interview skills along the way.
How it Works
Unfortunately, workplace injuries don’t always lead to a worker returning to the same job they had before the injury. Sometimes, a workplace injury can result in a reduced work capacity that can lead workers to be assessed for alternative employment options.
Following this assessment, they may require job preparation and job seeking assistance to ensure they have the necessary skills to transition to alternative employment successfully.
At KINNECT we understand that the job searching and interview process can be difficult, especially considering the functional and psychological limitations that injury can cause. Our approach is compassionate, incorporating counselling and practical assistance to help workers get back on their feet.
A qualified rehabilitation counsellor or return-to-work specialist will:
- Conduct a Vocational Assessment and counselling
- Support the worker with a resume review or development if one is available
- Provide advice on injury disclosure techniques
- Provide the worker with interview skills training
- Review their job search skills and job searching
- Provide ongoing support with job applications
- Research and enrol the worker into retraining courses to upgrade their skills (pending approval)
- Expore the opportunity for host employment to gain experience and demonstrate capacity to work
