Scope, the disability equality charity, are launching a new service in Greater Manchester, Individual Pathway of Support.
The new service will provide employment advice to disabled people wherever they are on their journey into work, they could be looking for volunteering to gain that first step or be looking for a new paid opportunity . Each person who joins the service will have support from an Employment adviser for up to 13 weeks to support them to reach their employment goal which could be by:
- Identifying their strengths and transferable skills
- Developing confidence and job skills like time management
- Reviewing their CV to meet your employment goals
- How and where to look for jobs
- Mock interviews
- How to talk to your employer about their impairment and reasonable adjustments
Scope will support everyone they work with to create an action plan to help them work towards their career goals.
Participants will also have access to a selection of training modules and an online job board, which has exclusive vacancies from partner organisations, recruiters, and employers who are committed to employing more disabled people.
