I will work alongside people who unable to gain employment independently, who are genuinely motivated to work. I do this by developing and implementing individual employment plans. The support I provide can range from assistance to create C.V’s, preparing for interviews, applying for advertised roles and approaching employers on behalf of individual job seekers to create employment based on the person's skills and interests.I commit to the values and principles of the Employment Support Practice Guidelines of which the headings are below:• Any disabled person who wants to work should have the opportunities to receive skilled support to gain work.• The disabled person’s goals and aspirations drive the uptake of employment support.• People and agencies involved in the person’s life are encouraged to understand the importance of work as an achievable outcome• Disabled people experience a personalized service. This means getting individually tailored, ongoing employment support to get and maintain a job.• Employers know about and have confidence in employment support services and the benefits of employing disabled people.• Providers of employment support have the knowledge to support each disabled person to get a job and develop a career of their choice.• Providers of employment support services direct and lead their organisation in ways that promote these employment support practices in partnership with disabled people.• Providers of employment support services measure how good they are at getting people into work and strive to continually improve their employment services to disabled people, to employers and funders.
