Tender Loving Care Disability Services is proud to share that our Gosford team has been recognised as Employer of the Quarter by MatchWorks. This recognition highlights our commitment to inclusive employment, meaningful opportunities, and high-quality support for the people we serve.
This award reflects more than recruitment success. It celebrates a partnership built on shared values of inclusion, growth, and community impact.
A Partnership Built on Purpose
The partnership between MatchWorks and Tender Loving Care Disability Services is grounded in a shared goal: to create sustainable employment pathways while strengthening disability support within the community.
MatchWorks, known for supporting inclusive employment, works closely with jobseekers who may benefit from additional guidance or a supportive workplace environment. When Tender Loving Care has recruitment needs or when MatchWorks identifies an individual ready for a suitable role, both organisations work together to ensure the placement is mutually beneficial.
Through this collaboration, MatchWorks has successfully referred several employees who are now valued members of our Gosford service. Each has demonstrated:
- Genuine receptiveness to training
- A willingness to grow
- A strong participant-centred approach
These qualities enrich our team and directly enhance our ability to deliver consistent, compassionate and person-centred support.
How This Partnership Benefits Our Participants
Although the partnership strengthens our workforce, the greatest benefit is experienced by the people we support.

Participants receive stable and reliable services through a consistent pool of well-matched staff.
Inclusive Employment Advocacy
MatchWorks provides tailored assistance to jobseekers, which helps new employees start their roles with confidence and clarity.
Higher Quality Support
Employees referred through MatchWorks bring diverse backgrounds and lived experiences. These qualities help us thoughtfully match staff with participants based on strengths, preferences, rapport and compatibility.
Enhanced Community Inclusion
Participants work with people who are genuinely committed to growth, inclusion and making a positive difference in everyday life.
A 100% Success Rate

Every candidate referred has:
- Successfully joined the Tender Loving Care team
