There are a number of initiatives and organisations that support employers to ensure that their recruitment process and working practices do not discriminate against jobseekers and employees with a disability or long-term health condition.
Do you find yourself confused by the recruitment methods employers use or the different types of work experience you could do to build your skills? Do you know your Right to Work check from your DBS check? Not sure what Access to Work is and how it can help you, or what it means if an employer is ‘Disability Confident’? Our glossary can help!
Many large employers are becoming more proactive to recruit candidates with disabilities, neurodiversity and long-term health conditions. Some run their own schemes targeting disabled applicants, while others work with specialist organisations that manage the recruitment process on their behalf.
If you have accessed support for your disability or health condition throughout school and university, e.g. in the form of a support plan or funding, you might be concerned about similar support being available to you in the workplace.
Part-time work is a great way to earn money, gain work experience, develop key skills and evidence skills on your CV!
