Introducing the We Work For Everyone Scheme

We support people with learning difficulties, learning disabilities and autistic people in the West of England to find a pathway into paid work. We aim to empower people by finding employment, promoting independence and challenging social isolation. The We Work for Everyone programme is available FREE to you if:

  • You have a learning difficulty, learning disability or are autistic
  • You are self or clinically diagnosed – this means even if you suspect you have difficulty with learning you may well be eligible
  • You are currently out of work or at risk of redundancy
  • You are looking to move into paid employment
  • You live in Bristol, South Gloucestershire, North Somerset or Bath & North East Somerset

How does it work?

You will be assigned an Employment Coach, who will work with you to develop a personalised plan to find employment.

Your Employment Coach will work with you to:

  • Assess your needs
  • Find out what you want to achieve
  • Find the right training opportunities
  • Provide support with job searching
  • Support the application process
  • Prepare for interviews

When you have successfully found paid employment, we will continue to support you in your new role. Our Employment Coaches will be with you every step of the way, using a person-centred approach to help you feel comfortable and confident.
