Our Mission
“Weave a holistic pathway of wellness through employment”
With the right supports employment is achievable and sustainable. Work Opportunities can provide those supports. Work involves a contract between two parties : the employer and the employee. There are rights and responsibilities on both sides. We can help clarify situations and act as a go between for both parties to make sure that everyone understands and respects the rights and responsibilities of employment.
About us
Work Opportunities Trust was formed in 1993, the trust in previous years had been called The House and Garden Workers Trust.
Being an independent charitable trust means that we can offer support longer than the current Ministry of Social Development contract provides. Some clients have been receiving support from Work Opportunities for many years enabling them to stay in long term meaningful employment.
Here at Work Opportunities there is a focus on overall wellbeing and exploring new possibilities. We take time to get to know our clients and we find ways together to make a positive difference. We see our clients worth and potential and inspire them to imagine their possibilities into realities.
We have extensive experience with how mental health challenges make finding paid employment much harder. We spend time getting to know our clients, this results in open and honest communication that helps with setting goals and working towards achieving them. Our team of specialist work one on one with individuals for as long as required for no fee.
