What we do
Our mission is to support people living with disabilities into ongoing, paid employment.
Orange Basket Community Services Limited is a not-for-profit social enterprise creating job opportunities for people living with disabilities.
We commit to taking a person-centred approach and tailoring training programs to suit the goals of participants.
We are passionate about ensuring our participants find a role suited to their capacity.
Training and Mentoring
Orange Basket Community Services runs industry-related training such as neurodivergent first aid, food handling, pastry cooking, and barista training.
We also provide a mentoring program for people living with disabilities to gain and maintain employment. Mentoring can provide a participant with motivation and focus on the job, via direct and regular encouragement and feedback. Every person is different so the mentoring program and individual supports are tailored to what is applicable.
The outcomes of mentoring are many and varied, and can provide participants with a capacity-building report required for an upcoming NDIS review, or for the implementation of a behaviour support plan.
Launching Careers
We encourage our participants to apply for paid employment with us. Conditions apply and an assessment may be required.
Our aim is not just to provide immediate work but to establish people on their career path, whether that be with Orange Basket or another business.
Orange Basket empowers participants to be as job-ready as they can be for open employment.
