Hi, my name is Martha and I am a Job Coach at Nova Employment. I have been working at NOVA for just over a year and I love what I do – teaching and motivating clients to look for employment. I have Cerebral Palsy and use a wheelchair to get around. Not only can I not walk, but my hands don’t work well either, however, I have overcome these obstacles by making sure my brain is sharp and ready to go. I have studied Assessment & Workplace Training, Counselling and I am currently studying Life Coaching. I have gained my experience and self-worth by doing volunteer work and taking on projects, such as, Co-ordinating Training and being the Executive Producer of a radio program on community radio.

About Nova Employment
NOVA operate a number of programs including Disability Employment Service (DES), a registered training organisation (NOVA Training) and 'Transition to Work' a New South Wales State Government initiative.
Our DES program is funded by the Australian Government's Department of Education, Employment & Workplace Relations (DEEWR).
We are a supported employment program that offers specialist job seeking assistance and post placement support. We find jobs in the general community, at award wage. NOVA works exclusively with people who have a disability or significant barriers to work and we have an excellent record of success and meaningful career development. Staff from our Campbelltown office also support people who are deaf or hearing impaired.
NOVA is not a sheltered workshop, or 'business service'.
