The Salvation Army Employment Plus is the largest Job Network provider in Australia, drawing on more than 100 years of employment services experience through The Salvation Army. Built on principles of compassion and support, we have made it to where we are today because of our firm and unwavering belief that every person has the right and capacity to find meaningful employment.
As a not-for-profit employment service, we are here to help people reach their full potential in work that offers a real future. Drawing on an extensive history of assisting people and through our strong relationships with employers, we stand by our motto: ‘we never give up’.
The Salvation Army Employment Plus is more than a job-matching agency. We seek to make a difference in the lives of individuals by helping them to break down the barriers to work and to start them on the path to a sustainable, self-sufficient future. By helping our candidates identify the issues in their lives, and by offering them ways to help solve these issues, we are empowering individuals to make a difference to their life and those around them.
Every successful, sustainable job placement we achieve represents one more person we have helped along the path to fulfilment, one more person who is achieving their aspirations.
To see a person realise their goal and to know that we have been able to bring some hope and light into the darkness that often accompanies unemployment – these are our ongoing rewards.
