Background

Hume Helping Hands (HHH) is a trading division of Hume Employment Service Limited (HES). For more than 20 years, HES has assisted people in North East Victoria and Southern New South Wales who have disability, injury or ill-health, to find employment in the open labour market. HHH has been developed to assist in this process by providing clients with a paid work experience opportunity in property and asset maintenance service in Wangaratta and the surrounding areas.

Hume Helping Hands

HHH has been established as a Social Firm under the umbrella of HES. A social firm is a business established with a social benefit in mind. HHH provides clients with a disability or barriers to employment with the opportunity to learn valuable employability and practical on-the-job skills whilst earning an award wage. As social exclusion is also a barrier facing many of our clients with disabilities, HHH provides a means to overcome this hurdle and positively move toward open employment, all in a safe, non-confrontational environment.

HHH provides up to nine months in paid work experience, during which time our Employment Consultants will work proactively with the Project Supervisor to secure sustainable, long term employment in the open job market, leveraging off the clients experience within HHH.

A clear Working with Children and Police check is required prior to commencement with HHH.
