I want help getting back to work
You're ready to work but need some support to get there
Work is part of recovery
For a lot of people, getting back to meaningful work — or into work for the first time — is a huge part of feeling well. Comcare's Jobconnect service is specifically designed for people who want employment support alongside their mental health journey. It's not a box-ticking exercise.
What Jobconnect actually does
Our Employment Consultants work one-on-one with you throughout Christchurch. They help you figure out what kind of work suits you, prepare for jobs, and support you once you've started. If you hit a rough patch in a job, they'll support you to stay in it — or negotiate time off if you need it. They also work directly with employers.
You can self-refer
You don't need a GP referral to access Jobconnect. You can get in touch directly. This makes it one of the easiest Comcare services to access.
It goes at your pace
There's no pressure to move faster than you're ready for. Some people are ready to apply for jobs within weeks; others need months of pre-vocational support first. Your Employment Consultant will follow your lead.
" They came to my job with me on the first day. I didn't expect that. It made a massive difference."
