Work

 
We want to help more people with a learning disability to get a job, especially young people leaving school
 
We provide a work placement scheme, which offers people work experience in a number of different settings.  People gain skills which will help them to find a job and also get the chance to make new friends and to build their self-confidence.  We also give support and advice to help people look for a job, and in some cases can help people achieve recognised qualifications which can help them to find work.
 
You can contact to find information for people with a learning disability, carers, employers and professionals about
