Improving wellbeing

Alyssa sought out Edge’s support after her therapist recommended our employment services. She has been assisted by Edge Job Coach Pauline in her new role at Mantra on Hay. “Edge supported me in changing my role from housekeeping to reception and therefore changing my wellbeing. I get to see my Job Coach and feel comfortable that someone checks in on me to address any issues,” said Alyssa.

Being supported in her new role has made Alyssa feel “comfortable, validated, empowered, confident and enabled my progress. I would also like to say, Pauline my Job Coach has really validated my experience and I enjoy seeing her for support.”

Working has positively changed Alyssa’s life, “I have money to enable me to pay rent and to be independent.”

Alyssa is enjoying being part of the reception team where she checks clients in and out, and answers calls and emails. She is also relishing her job as she is surrounded by approachable and caring colleagues and managers.

One of Alyssa’s supportive managers is James who has been impressed with her growth. “Alyssa has embraced the challenge of a new role with great enthusiasm and dedication. I look forward to her future achievements and great support from Edge.”

We thought it was only fitting to end Alyssa’s employment story with her parting advice, “I thought I couldn’t work and then I was given a shot and now I am thriving.”
