The ECL Inclusive Employment team work closely with both job candidates and employers looking to recruit new talent.

If you are a potential candidate - we will get to know you and together we will complete a vocational profile to establish your skills, experience, and personal employment goals. If you’re not quite ready for paid employment, we will signpost and support you to get additional skills and experience. We will support you through the job application and interview process and then provide on the job coaching for as long as it takes for you to become confident in their role.

For employers - we take time to understand your recruitment needs, match any suitable candidates to vacant roles, and can advise and guide you to make any reasonable adjustments to ensure you get the best experience as an inclusive employer.

The ECL Inclusive Employment programme differs from other supported employment schemes by going beyond initial job matching to supporting the job candidates and employers for as long as it takes for them both to be confident of sustaining a productive and happy, long term employment relationship.
