Finding a job is a crucial step in the journey toward social and economic independence, however sustainable, meaningful employment can be out of reach for many jobseekers without the proper support.
Our team provides individually tailored employment support that overcomes the barriers faced by jobseekers and generates real outcomes for refugees, people seeking asylum, long-term unemployed job seekers, people with disability, and parents of young children.
SSI also supports job seekers to build a meaningful career in at-home aged care by connecting them to suitable training and work opportunities in NSW and the ACT.

We work closely with employers to source the right person to meet your business needs. This includes screening resumes, developing interview skills, undertaking pre-employment suitability checks, and providing post-employment support.
We work with you to co-design a workforce development model to ensure:
- collaboration on role design; ensuring roles are accessible, there are opportunities for career progression and training, and that future workforce planning has been considered

- work-life balance expectations are met
- candidate skill sets are optimised
- appropriate support is made available
- an optimal induction program is designed.
Our services are free with no referral fees. We are a one-stop shop with a pipeline of 3,000 employees actively seeking work, and our Employer Solutions team actively matches employers with suitable candidates.

Testimonials
"Service NSW & SSI have had a successful long-standing relationship in the engagement of refugees, as part of an employment program. Service NSW is forever grateful for the quick responses, the collaboration and the support of our co-management of refugees during the recruitment process. The integrity and open communication from the SSI team is highly regarded."
Sarah Qassis - Traineeship & Internship Program Manager, Service NSW
"To date, we have recruited 43 candidates through SSI. In the process, the two organisations have come to know each other well. Our SSI partners regularly came to our site and learned our requirements and onboarding processes. They continue to support our staff with translation services, with the sourcing of external training, and by assisting our employees in their navigation of a range of Australian administrative processes. It’s a great partnership that we hope will endure for a long time."
Joe Rasmussen – State Manager NSW, Soft Landing
