    Hello there @jo996, I wonder have you been in touch with Scope's Employment Support Services?

    You might like to look into Support to Work. It's a free online and telephone support programme for disabled people in England and Wales, who are looking for paid work. Do remember that this is not a face-to-face service, so may not be right for everyone. 

    What did you enjoy most about your volunteering work?

    Thanks for explaining @jo996 do you like those kinds of tasks?

    Is that the kind of job you'd want to move into paid work for? :)

    Thanks. As you're claiming ESA then permitted work rules are that it must be less than 16 hours per week, not up to 16 hours. The earnings are no more than £167/week. If you work more and earn more than this then your ESA will stop. You must tell ESA that you're working (if you start) and fill out the PW1 form.

    I know I just need help for  finding a job that I can only do 16 hours because it's not easy for me to find something I don't know where else to look.

    Hello @jo996

    Have you looked at the GOV job search page? They have a huge list of employers who are disability confident. It's a great starting point, and where I started when job searching :)

    It sounds really difficult that you are not receiving responses @jo996. Could you use the Gov website as a spring board and apply directly with the companies / contact the companies directly?  :)
