People Hub have worked with a diverse range of people who needed help moving into employment.

Gisele

Gisele’s husband passed away in 2021, leaving her in debt, without an income and with an expired Brazilian passport.

Kyle

Kyle had left prison and wanted to work to support his family, but had a deserved mistrust of ‘professionals’. He felt beyond help. With kindness, persistence and regular iced vanilla lattes, People Hub built his trust and confidence, and he got a new job in a dairy. - Click to hear more about Kyle's story -
