WORX PROGRAMME

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 and 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.
