We work with disabled people to develop a programme around their career goals and how they can achieve them. We do this through group and one-to-one sessions, and help people to:
• Understand their career goals.
• Grow in confidence, assertiveness, and independence
• Write their CV
• Develop interview skills
• Find and apply for volunteering, training, or employment opportunities
They will also have:
• Exclusive access to job boards to find vacancies from inclusive employers
• In-work support if you start work whilst with us. This includes practical guidance on requesting adjustments, support with Access to Work forms, and emotional support
Disability Can Do offers two streams of support;
A 7 week pre-employment group training. This is for disabled people in those early stages on their employment journey. We help build confidence and core employment skills before starting their job search.
Support includes:
• 2 group sessions delivered each week. Group sessions focus on core skills such as confidence, communication and CV writing

• 3 months of fortnightly check in calls once the 7 weeks have finished. We can support with enrolment forms or application forms, as well as checking in on their wellbeing.
