This Is Me Agency
Hello from This Is Me Agency.
We are a Supported Employment Agency. This means we help adults with disabilities, health conditions, chronic illnesses and/or mental health conditions to navigate the Access To Work process and find the best support for them.
Supported Employment is an evidence-based and personalised approach to support people with significant disabilities with their work in real jobs, self-employment and company ownership where they can fulfil their employment aspirations and achieve social and economic inclusion.
The guiding principle of Supported Employment is that it is designed to support individuals who do not necessarily meet traditional criteria for 'job readiness' or 'employability'.
What is Access To Work?
The DWP created Access To Work to help disabled people start a new job, stay in work or move to self-employment. Access To Work can be life-changing as the support received is unique to the needs of the individual. It can help provide funding for things like:
- Practical help
- Specialist equipment
- Support workers
- Travel
If you think you or someone you know could benefit from Access To Work, please don't hesitate to get in touch - we would love to have a conversation with you.
