We provide training to those with we hire who have core skills to ensure these competencies can be gained. As you grow in this position you can see clearly in the model, your level of pay, and as your required skills rise, so too can your wage. Most staff commence on $26.60 per hour, with benefits starting after 3 months, and after 1 year vacation entitlement starts to increase. If however you have experience in employment facilitation and working with diverse and highly barriered client groups, or employment counselling with this demographic; we may consider commencing you at a higher wage, and this will be determined using the competency model. This year the facilitator range is starting at $26.60 per hour and our top level of pay is $28.20 per hour.
