Work First

Helping people develop skills and recognise their strengths

Our work first programme provides a person-centred approach for people with barriers to employment and those facing mental health challenges.Our program offers a career pathway tailored to their needs.

Our program aims to empower individuals with diverse abilities and disabilities by providing a supportive system for ongoing employment. Through job discovery, teamwork, and skill building.

Participants engage in a range of work assignments that focus on their strengths and our supported employment program focuses on the abilities of individuals, it breaks down isolation, and creates opportunities for them to thrive.

We believe in paying and treating our baristas well. Our team is our defining factor, and we collaborate with highly skilled, personable, individuals who form the Conscientious Coffee culture for us. Our program offers a career pathway tailored to their needs.

We offer benefits like great mental health support, specialised promotion paths (blue sky thinking), and opportunities for individuals to work using their own unique strengths and abilities.

It is their abilities that influence our shops, our training programs, our content, and how we shape our identity and values. Their satisfaction, along with yours, contributes to the Conscientious Coffee experience. 

We’re really excited about this programme and are eager to watch the people who come to work with us grow. If you think that this programme might suit you or someone you know, we’d love to hear from you. Additionally, if you think you can help us in any way, please get in touch with us!
