If you want to work but a health condition, disability or other challenge is getting in the way, our free Employment Specialists are here to help.
No pressure, no judgement – just personalised support at your pace.
We’ll take the time to understand your situation, what you’d like to do, and what support would make the biggest difference. That might mean building confidence, exploring job options, preparing for interviews, speaking with employers, or helping you stay in work if things are becoming difficult. Whatever your starting point, we’ll work alongside you to help you move forward in a way that feels right for you.
What happens when you get in touch?
Step 1
Refer yourself online, by phone or email, or ask someone to refer you with your permission. We’ll be in touch within a few days.
Step 2
You’ll be matched with a specialist who understands your situation. You’ll talk about your goals, strengths, and what kind of support you need.
Step 3
Together you’ll create a personalised plan. This might include job searching, interview practice, skills building, or support to talk to your current employer.
Step 4
When you’re ready to start a job, your Employment Specialist stays with you, supporting you in your new role for as long as you need.
Step 5
Support lasts up to 12 months after you start work. You won’t be left to get on with it alone.
