to discover the type of job that would suit you and what skills and experience you have.

If you need to gain qualifications, work experience, or life skills to be ready for your ideal job, we can help you by:

• Referring you to our Community Connector team to assist you to get voluntary work or build your confidence and independence by engaging in community-based activities.
• Signposting you to our partner organisations for further education or training.

We will support you to create an impactful and professional CV or complete job application forms.

We will approach potential employers to identify job opportunities that are a good match for you. We provide employers with advice and guidance on accommodating any additional needs you may have to give you an equal opportunity of being selected for the job.

We will support you through the selection process. If appropriate, we can liaise with the employer to organise a job trial, which gives you the chance to try out the job and demonstrate your skills to the employer rather than undergoing a traditional interview process.  Where interviews are required, we will practise interviewing techniques with you, and can accompany you throughout the interview if you and the interviewer want us to be present.

Once you’re offered a job, we can help with things like practising your journey to work and applying for Access To Work funding which can help people with disabilities to gain access to work. https://www.gov.uk/access-to-work

• On starting your job, we can support you with any paperwork, induction training, and e-learning. We can also provide on-the-job coaching until you feel confident to do your job independently.
