Meeting our team

• When you get in touch we'll tell you more about the help we can give.
• It’s good to talk about what work or volunteering you'd like to do and what you might be good at.
• They'll talk to you about what you like to do and what you don’t like.
• They'll help you to see what skills you already have. You can also talk about any skills you'd like to improve.
• You can come up with a plan together.

Speaking to employers

• Our team speak to local businesses so they can create roles for people that might need some extra support.
• If there’s a job that we think you'll like, we might ask if we can introduce you.
• Sometimes we can set up a working interview. This means you can try out the job as a trial.
• Another way we can help is by creating a work placement so you can get some experience.

Finding the right match 

• It’s good for us to show your CV to businesses if we think you might be a good match. This means we can see if the role would be a good fit for you.
• We can work together to help you search for jobs too.
• We work with employers to see if they can offer a job that would match your skills.

Getting settled in

• We want to help you learn your job and feel confident.
• Work placements are helpful because we can show you what to do.
• Sometimes our job coaches can come to work with you until you're confident to do it on your own.
• We can help you to learn how to travel to work if you need it.

More about the service

The service supports people who are over the age of 18 and either:

• have a learning disability or difficulty
• had an education, health and care plan during school
• are otherwise neurodivergent (this includes adults with autism)

The service is part-funded by the UK government’s Local Supported Employment (LSE) scheme. This scheme is designed to help adults over the age of 18 who have learning disabilities or autism into work.

We work with:

• South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority
• Sheffield City Council
• City of Doncaster Council
• Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council

We also work with Speakup Self Advocacy as part of their 'Employment is for Everyone' project to offer chances to people across South Yorkshire for people with learning disabilities and autism.

We want to hear from the people we’ve helped into jobs and volunteering roles so we can find out what we’re doing well and where we can continue to improve. Take part in our short survey today.
