Help from Jobcentre Plus

Their Advisers provide support to disabled people who are having difficulty in getting a job because of their disability, and also to employed people who are concerned about losing their job because of a disability. They can provide details of suitable vacancies and explain more about the range of programmes available to help you.

If you need extra support, they have specialist advisers who can help you plan the best way for you to find work. If you’re already employed, these advisers can discuss your current employment situation with you. If you’re concerned about losing your job because of your disability or health condition, you and your employer can get advice and practical suggestions to help you keep your job.
