Job description
About the Role
This position is for an Employment Consultant in Earlville, Queensland, working within the Workforce Australia Program. The role suits someone who is motivated by helping people move into meaningful work and who can identify strengths in others and connect them with suitable opportunities.
Location Highlights
Earlville is presented as a lifestyle-rich workplace close to Cairns, with access to coastline, rainforest, and a lively local community. The area is described as offering a welcoming neighbourhood, convenient cafés, shops, and transport, a strong local business network, and a relaxed Far North Queensland atmosphere.
About the Employer
APM is a global human services organisation established in 1994. It has more than 15,000 team members across 11 countries and focuses on helping people of all abilities live more independent and fulfilling lives. The organisation also offers career pathways, learning opportunities, and a broad support network.
What the Role Involves
The Employment Consultant will work directly with participants to support them into sustainable employment. This includes helping them prepare for work, find opportunities, and stay employed. The role also involves building confidence, designing personalised employment plans, promoting inclusive workplaces, celebrating progress, and working with local employers who value diverse hiring.
Why This Role Stands Out
This opportunity combines meaningful community impact with career development in a supportive and inclusive team environment. It is positioned as a chance to make a real difference while enjoying the tropical setting of Earlville.

Prior experience in employment services is helpful but not required. Experience from sales, retail, call centres, hospitality, business development, consulting, or administration may also transfer well into this role.
