Job Support worked with Casey to help her determine the type of work she would like, culminating in her placement at Banco. Job Support liaised with Banco Chambers to create a role and job description matched to Casey’s strengths and abilities. A Job Support liaison officer continues to support Casey in the workplace with regular visits, particularly during times of change such as when Banco relocated to 60 Martin Place.

Her work makes a genuine contribution to our operational needs. We are very grateful to Job Support and I encourage every organisation in the legal services industry and beyond to consider how their operations could benefit from partnering with Job Support.”
