Note: There are all types of job prospects with many great employers who are able to utilise your applicable skills without your disability being a concern. Asuria works closely with our candidates to match them with a role and employer where we believe they will succeed. The following list is a small example of potential careers and are suggestions only. It’s important to have an employer or Job Coach that understands your interest, skills, preferences and goals, and matches you with an employer that values the ‘real’ you, and not base your application or interview on a perception of you.
Lower limb deficiencies occur when all or part of the leg is missing or not entirely formed. The condition may be congenital (present from birth) or the result of injury or disease. If you’re one of the many Australians living with this condition, you understand the challenges that a condition like this can pose to your daily life.
And when it comes to employment, you might worry about limited prospects. Fortunately, technology and accommodations allow you to experience the many benefits of having a satisfying, fulfilling job.
The following jobs may work well for people with lower-limb deficiencies, but don’t think these are the only possibilities. As you work with your Asuria Job Coach, the two of you will discuss your skills, talents and interests to find a career path that helps you achieve your goals.
1. Drafter
Drafters create technical drawings for products. If you have an eye for design and can use CAD software, you could help develop details and concepts for many different fields, including architecture, landscaping, construction, engineering and more.
2. Human Resources Manager
Keeping employees informed, trained and happy requires quite a skill set. As a human resources manager, you’ll help workers understand their benefits and possibly help with hiring and orientation as well.
3. Solicitor
Solicitors are licenced to practise law, but the law is a broad topic. You might choose to specialise in several areas, including providing legal advice, researching and gathering evidence, drawing up documents related to divorces, wills, contracts, real estate transactions, or even representing clients in court.
4. Paralegal
If you like law but don’t want to pursue so much formal education, you might enjoy working as a paralegal. Paralegals interview witnesses, conduct research, draft legal documents and sign correspondence for solicitors.
5. Accounting
Every industry needs accountants to keep the numbers straight and provide excellent data. Not only do accountants earn a good living, but they’re essential to the companies they serve.
6. Call Centre Worker
Do you love talking with people? Working in a call centre can provide you with plenty of chat time each day, even if you perform much of your labour from the comfort of your own home.
7. Actuary
Do you love math? If you take a job as an actuary, you’ll perform complex calculations to determine the likelihood of accidents, investments or consumer demand. Actuaries typically work for insurance companies, bankers, pension directors or marketing managers.
8. Public Relations
Diplomacy is not just for governments. Businesses and nonprofit organisations hire public relations specialists to connect with communities and polish their brand’s image.

If you’re an artist at heart, you can turn your talent into an exciting job creating images for posters, social media posts, brochures, logos and more.
