Job Coaching Service
Job Coaching and supported employment is a well-evidenced, personalised approach to working with people with disabilities, including people with learning disabilities and autism to access and retain open employment, with support. Our Job coaches work with a host of people including people with learning disabilities, family carers, supported employment organisations, and employers. We make sure people get quality support to become valued employees and maintain their health and well being. We provide employers with training, advice and tools to understand how to create workplaces that are supportive of disabled and underrepresented people. We work with employers and employees jointly to identify realistic solutions to barriers surrounding social and learning development in the workplace supplying innovation practices and change management.
Our work with businesses and employees includes training in systematic instruction, structured action planning; travel training; disability awareness; job carving, guidance on reasonable adjustments and ongoing facilitation.
