What is Supported Employment?

Supported Employment provides support to people with disabilities to secure and maintain paid employment. Supported Employment offers practical support that is based on meeting the identified needs of employers and employees. The Supported Employment Scheme is administered by Interwork Services and may provide financial assistance.

Why disability matters for your business?

One in five people of working age has a disability or a long term health condition. You are probably already employing someone in this category and he or she could be one of your best employees. Disabled people seeking work in Guernsey are usually locally resident with existing Right to Work documents. Therefore the cost of recruiting from abroad would not apply.

How can we support your business?

We offer:

• advice regarding placements in the workplace
• financial support where appropriate
• support with training and developing skills
• assessment of any adjustments that may be required
