Established in South Australia 35 years ago, Maxima has expanded its reach to provide employment support from 60 locations across the country.
In the Logan area, Maxima has provided employment services to the community for about 13 years.
"We employ 285 staff across Australia," Maxima Joblink Queensland business manager Peter Jordan said.
"Maxima's scope includes the provision of traineeships and apprenticeships, including Indigenous traineeships for major national clients such as BUPA, NAB, ANZ, Westpac, Qantas and Australia Post.
"Most recently Maxima has significantly expanded its Disability Employment Services nationally to support jobseekers with disability, injury and health conditions, from school-aged students to older Australians wanting to re-enter the workforce."
Locally, Maxima supports people living with disability who would value the opportunity to work and contribute to their local economy and community.
"We support all jobseekers, including youth living with anxiety or depression to all jobseekers facing barriers to employment," Peter said.
"We take the time to listen to each person's unique needs and ambitions.
"Maxima is a not-for-profit organisation and is genuinely passionate about building local communities.
As the only full-time Disability Employment Service in the Jimboomba area, Maxima has built substantial local networks and is proud to connect customers with great local businesses."
Maxima's five-year strategic plan is:
- Closing the gap in Indigenous employment outcomes;
- Assisting people with injury, health condition or disability to gain and keep meaningful employment;
- Upskilling new entrants and existing workers; and
- Helping other disadvantaged minority groups to find their way into the workforce.
"We are driven by a desire to make a real difference and are rewarded every day by the life-changing outcomes we create for many of our inspiring clients," Peter said.
"Our service is about you, our customer and our whole focus is on helping you gain your job, and importantly supporting you to keep it long term."
Maxima also provides permanent and temporary recruitment solutions.
