The Worx programme focuses on work opportunities and also
operates a "work crew". The crew undertakes employment with one
off and short term contracts such as events at Mystery Creek,
seasonal farm work and general maintenance activities.
At Gracelands Worx we aim:
To support clients with a mental health illness into
mainstream work
To assist clients with a mental health illness to extend
their life skills and work in work settings
To promote clients with a mental health illness as valued
members of our community
To support individual career aspirations
To support community integration
As an organisation we also look to foster networks and natural
support for people in the community. We do this to strengthen
the opportunities for both disabled people and the community as
a whole.
How we do it?
We support the development of individualised plans for clients
to assist them to achieve their goals. We assist our clients to
develop their own CV and work ready skills. We provide a range
of activities and programmes for clients not currently engaged
in work. Provide links into community participation.
How to access our service
Using our service is easy. We are contracted to the Ministry of
Social Development so there is no cost to the client. Clients
can be referred by another agency or can contact us directly. We
will need to be provided with some basic information about the
client so we can complete the registration. We will then work
with you to support them towards their employment goals.
