🎉👏🏽Meet Jim Bell👏🏽🎉
“I’m a proud Wiradjuri/Yuin/Ngarigo man from the Binjang Clan of Wellington, NSW and also connected to far South Coast - Umbarra, Yuin Country . I was raised in Wellington before moving to Sydney, and back to Wellington. I’ve always maintained a strong connection to culture, community and supporting people to create positive change in their lives.
I’m excited to join MobReady as a Mentor with the REAL Program, supporting people who are currently incarcerated to prepare for employment, training and successful reintegration into the community, as well as providing ongoing support following their release.
I’m passionate about creating pathways through employment, training, education, health, fitness, sport and community connection. I see meaningful employment as more than simply having a job, it can provide purpose, stability, confidence and an opportunity to build a positive future.
I’m looking forward to using my lived experience, cultural knowledge and community connections to build genuine relationships, support participants in identifying their goals and help them navigate the transition from custody back into employment and community life.
Having been caught up the system myself, growing up in community and being brought back by culture, connection, I understand the importance of stable employment and the right support networks.“
Jim joins our Wellington team and brings crucial lived experience and cultural connection. We’re proud and excited to have Jim on our team 🎉🖤💛❤️
