If you’re someone who enjoys helping people get back on their feet, building strong relationships, and creating real opportunities, this role offers the chance to make a genuine impact in your community.

About the Role

As an Employment Consultant with APM Employment Services in the Workforce Australia Program, you’ll work with people facing barriers to employment—whether that’s long‑term unemployment, health conditions, confidence issues, or limited experience. Your role is to help them regain independence through work.

This is a fast‑paced position that blends people support with sales, reverse marketing, and detailed administration. You’ll be coaching participants one moment, promoting their strengths to employers the next, and ensuring all compliance requirements are met along the way.

Why Bundaberg Central

Bundaberg Central is a strong regional hub with a diverse employer base, from retail and hospitality to trades, agriculture, and professional services. The area offers plenty of opportunities for employer engagement, face‑to‑face networking, and building long‑term partnerships. It’s a community‑focused location where your work genuinely matters and where you can see the impact of your efforts every day.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supporting Participants — Work with people facing barriers to help them prepare for work, build confidence, and identify realistic employment goals.

• Reverse Marketing — Actively promote participants to local employers, highlight their strengths, and create job opportunities that may not exist yet.

• Employer Engagement — Build relationships with Bundaberg businesses, understand their needs, and match them with suitable candidates.

• Administration & Compliance — Manage appointments, documentation, reporting, and program requirements with accuracy and attention to detail.

• Coaching & Preparation — Assist with resumes, interview practice, job search strategies, and workplace expectations.

• Outcome Delivery — Work towards employment outcomes, track progress, and celebrate participant achievements.
