Employment Support Programmes — Free Help to Build Skills, Confidence and Job Opportunities
Looking for work can feel overwhelming, especially when you are trying to balance health conditions, caring responsibilities or a lack of confidence after time away from employment.
The Disability Resource Centre's employment support programmes are here to help. We offer practical, free support for people who want to build skills, explore opportunities and move closer to work.
What Our Employment Support Includes
Our employment support programmes are designed to help people at different stages of their journey.
Support may include:
Guidance while looking for work
Information about free training opportunities
Signposting to volunteering options
Help building confidence and practical skills
Access to useful employment and job-support resources
The focus is on helping people move forward in ways that feel realistic and supportive.
Who It Is For
Our employment support is especially helpful for:
Disabled people
People with long-term health conditions
Carers returning to work
People exploring new job options
Anyone who needs encouragement, information and practical next steps
We know that one route does not fit everyone, so our support is designed to be flexible and person-centred.
More Than Job Searching
Employment support is not only about finding the next vacancy. It is also about:
Understanding your strengths
Building confidence
Accessing the right learning opportunities
Finding supportive pathways into work
Exploring volunteering as a stepping stone
For some people, the right starting point is skills development. For others, it is simply having someone help them see what is possible.
