"It's working for me"

Employers FAQ

The Employability Network has established working links with many local employers and hopes to widen those partnerships in the coming years. We make those connections through member organisations such as Job Centre Plus, and sometimes just by 'knocking on doors'.

We aim to host regular Information Sharing events where you will get the chance to meet our members and find out a bit more about how they can help you.

How can the Network support you as an employer?

If you answer YES to any of the following, we may be able to help:

Do you have an employee with a health problem or disability that is affecting their capacity to carry out their duties?
Do you or any memers of your team wish to know more about how to support employees with a specific condition such as a mental health problem, an addiction or a learning disability?

How can you as an employer help our clients get into and stay in work?

Answer YES to any of the following and we would like to meet you:

Are there any vacancies in your organisation for 'entry level' or unskilled posts for a small number of hours per week?
For clients who have very little or no experience, could you offer a temporary work placement on the proviso that the Network staff provide 'on the job support'?

Many members provide support for employers, more information on available supports are available on individual member's pages. The full list of members can be found on the member list,there is also a list of meeting dates and training opportunities.
