Background

About Deidre Wright

Now in 2017, volunteering with CARAD has kept me busy in 'retirement'. With a wonderful group of volunteers we have assisted numerous Asylum Seekers and Refugees to get into university, sometimes with scholarships, to find jobs in their chosen field or path. Our volunteers work as employment and education mentors, searching for and connecting opportunities for our clients. We currently have an IELTS preparation course and an Engineering Mentor team and in 2018 are broadening our network into Health and Aged Care. If any of my contacts would like to help people from an Asylum Seeker background, please contact me. 2014 - After four amazing years of starting and growing Fine Tune Personnel I have sold the business to a recruitment company from Melbourne, Zoom Recruitment. They were looking to expand into the Perth scene and feel Fine Tune is a great platform. They have exciting plans for the future and will continue to provide and enhance the excellent service that we established. I will miss my wonderful team of staff but will certainly stay in touch. Many of them have been much more than employees and we will continue our friendships. Our clients and labour hire employees have been a joy to work with (most of the time) and I have loved providing quality employment opportunities for so many people. My plans? Spending time with family, friends, beach, improving my guitar playing, travelling - this may sound like retirement but I wouldn't go that far. I plan to use my skills in the community. Watch this space. Have returned from a fact finding tour of Europe and excited about our next phase for Fine Tune Personnel. Headed up by Sarina Francis, our new White Collar division will enhance our existing services to existing and new clients.
