Support for entering employment
Young people with additional needs may want to look for additional support as they start employment. This could include job coaching, supported employment, and more.
For young people seeking additional support entering the workforce, the following options may be helpful:
If your young person feels confident enough to start work, you might like to encourage them to look for a job that has training and/or job coaching, to help them adjust to the world of work. You can also contact the disability employment advisers at Jobcentre Plus to find out what other employment-related support they offer.
This is a model for supporting people with disabilities to secure and retain employment. There are eligibility criteria which, if met, mean the service is likely to be free. You may also be able to use a Personal Budget issued to your young person to pay for this.
