Training and employment
If you need extra employment support because of a disability,
your local Jobcentre can put you in touch with one of their
Disability Employment Advisers.
A Disability Employment Adviser can offer you:
- an employment assessment to help you identify what type of work
or training suits you best
- a referral, if needed, for a specialist employment assessment
with a Work Psychologist to help you prepare to find and stay in
work
- a job-matching and referral service - the DEA can let you know
about jobs that match your experience and skills and provide advice
about Access to Work, if required
- a referral, where appropriate, to the Work Programme to help
you prepare for and stay in work
- a referral, where appropriate, to a programme for disabled
people, like Work Choice or Residential Training
- information on employers in your area who have adopted the 'two
ticks' disability symbol
