Episode 9: Careers in Mental Health & Disability

Have you ever considered a career in mental health and disability? If not, here are some great reasons why you should. The sector is vibrant and growing, with the NDIS promising comprehensive choice and control for people with disabilities, and the mental health sector experiencing widespread community attention and renewed Government investment. 

All this offers many exciting career choices for people who want to make a difference and who care about supporting vulnerable people.

This week, GET REAL explores career opportunities in mental health and disability with some of ermha365’s passionate and talented staff, including Sarah Waite, Talent Acquisition Advisor, and Sharon, Nicole and Sam, all at different stages in their career with ermha365. You’ll hear lots of great advice about the rewards of working in the sector, what a typical day is like, current vacancies, and how to secure a role where your values match the work you get to do every day.
