Getting Extra Help If You Have a Disability
Jobcentres can help you find disability-friendly employers in your area. They can refer you to a specialist work psychologist, if appropriate. They can also carry out an ‘employment assessment’ where you can discuss your skills and experience, and what kind of roles you’re interested in.
Their work coaches can tell you about programmes and grants to help you back into work. These include:
- Access to Work - money towards a support worker, or for the cost of equipment or travelling to work.
- Specialist Employability Support - to help you get ready for employment or become self-employed.
