Advice for disabled people seeking employment

If you have a disability you may be worried about finding a job, or an accessible place of work. However, there are plenty of employers out there who are very positive about employing people with a disability and many websites which provide some useful advice or can help you look for a job. We've included some of these below:

• NHS jobs — www.jobs.nhs.uk
• Suffolk Jobs Direct — www.suffolkjobsdirect.org
• Directgov employment advice and information — www.direct.gov.uk
• Shaw Trust — www.shaw-trust.org.uk
• Disability Jobs Site — www.disabilityjobsite.co.uk
• Disabled Workers Jobs Portal — www.disabledworkers.org.uk
• Remploy — www.remploy.co.uk

If you are having trouble finding employment you might want to think about volunteering. Volunteering is a particularly good route for disabled people to use to get into employment as it is easier to get work experience and skills that way.
