What is the Employment Unit?

The purpose of the Employment Unit is to create employment opportunities for disabled people and to assist people with disabilities to find, and maintain, work.

The Employment Unit believes there is no 'one best way' for assisting a disabled person to find secure employment. A person's skills, abilities, disability, motivation and domestic circumstances are so individual and complex that a range of facilities were established to tailor the service to meet the client's needs. Of prime importance to the Employment Unit is its ability to provide a one-to-one service to a client and to enable individuals with disabilities to access a wide variety of services in order that they may receive the most appropriate means of support.

The Unit operates the following key activities to deliver a service to tackle the unmet employment needs of people with disabilities:

Job Club to assist clients to look for employment
Work Experience Placements to enable clients to develop their skills
Support Team providing on-going assistance and support to people with brain injuries, physical disabilities, sensory impairments, learning difficulties or mental health problems
Consultancy and Advisory Service to local employers, voluntary organisations and people who have disabilities regarding good employment practice

The Unit also provides advice and guidance to disabled people who are currently in employment.
