Let’s Talk About Jobs
What type of employers are near you?
Businesses come in all shapes and sizes and it will help you if you start thinking about the types of employers in your own travel area.
There may be shops, manufacturers, motor repairers, joiners, banks, construction firms, garden nurseries, retailers, information technology/computer specialists and many more.
Local employers may also be part of large multi-national companies, public sector bodies like your local council or smaller private firms with fewer than ten employees.
All of them should be familiar with the Disability Discrimination Act but some will have work more suited to your skills and interests than others.
We recommend you take a good look around the areas you can easily travel to and make a list of all the types of businesses you’re interested in – take a look at the Personal Checklist for more information. This document also has information about what is available in your area.
This will help you match prospective employers in your area with your interests and ambitions.
When you find something you would like to do, we will help identify the training best suited for you and your personal development and support needs.
There are so many opportunities. With our Case Managers on board we are already working with trainees on programmes relating to jobs as diverse as Digger Driving, Electrician, Gas Maintenance, Interior Design and Animal Welfare
The list is long so don’t rule anything out.
