STATUS EMPLOYMENT
Moving towards, gaining and remaining in work.
STATUS Employment is a registered charity which aims to assist disabled people in finding and retaining paid employment.
We work with people with disabilities or mental health issues to get into work or move closer to the job market; this can be through education; training, paid work or volunteering.
We'll start by helping you to identify your current skills, look at your aspirations and help you to gain and retain employment in a supportive work environment.
We'll work with the employer to ensure that the job is right for you and to ensure that any necessary adjustments to the job are put in place.
Our Values - Status Employment
