  • Employment services experience - particularly in barrier management, reverse marketing or disability employment
  • Understanding of disability employment barriers and the ability to communicate these sensitively and persuasively
  • Strong networking and stakeholder communication skills
  • Knowledge of local employers and labour market trends
  • A performance‑focused mindset with proven results in achieving KPIs
