Supported Employment / How does it work?

We work with people from disadvantaged backgrounds and help them prepare for and find work. When we approach a company we will normally already have a person in mind. We will have assessed abilities and interests, and will have done some work to ‘match’ the person to type of employment. We put in a considerable amount of time getting to know the person, assessing their strengths and potential, and researching appropriate local employment opportunities. We work very closely with employers to ‘match’ the right person to the right job. Sometimes we break down tasks or instructions so that it is easier for an employee to do the job. In other cases, we work alongside the employee in the initial stages of employment. We provide on-going support to both employer and employee and there is no charge to either for the service we provide.
