Job design candidate toolkit

A toolkit designed for people with disability starting their employment journey. By using this toolkit, different skills, experiences, interests and conditions can be identified and understood. This resource supports the journey towards a customised role within meaningful and purposeful employment.

Customised Employment (CE) is designed to help people with disability secure and sustain meaningful employment. It is built on two fundamental principles. 

1. Everyone is capable of working in open employment.
2. Traditional job-seeking practices often disadvantage individuals with complex disabilities. 

CE tailors job roles to match the unique abilities and strengths of individuals with disabilities, meeting the specific needs of employers. 

The toolkit gives guidance on:

• defining industries of interest
• identifying roles within that industry
• conducting informational interviews
• developing candidate profiles
• matching tasks required by an employer.
