Help with employment and fully remote work

Blondi

Hello! A bit of a depressing first post but I am coming up to my final year in university and trying to search for potential jobs to no avail. Due to learning difficulties, seizures, and my autism I can’t function in a fast paced working environment and can’t handle money even with assistance. I tried out an aptitude test for a potential job but failed to proceed due to poor grammar and literacy - I can’t even pass my uni work without the Grammarly the uni provided me.

I can’t find anything suitable through career/job services and it’s really making me feel like I’m pointlessly working towards nothing. Previous advice say to do data entry but ive struggled badly with excel and other softwares since school. Coding is completely out of the question. I was bullied and taken advantage of in a past cleaning job. Does anyone have any clue on where to find a fully remote job that is friendly, it feels like searching for a unicorn.

Hi @Blondi, welcome to the community. Sorry to hear you're having trouble finding work, it's not fun doing the searches at the best of times and can really take it out of you.

Fully remote work is quite rare unfortunately, but roles do come up every now and then. Scope have a page for disability friendly employers with some links to job boards that you might like to look at:

We also have some employment support services:

Sometimes work with charities can be a bit more flexible and understanding, perhaps that might be an area that would be worth looking at?

If you're not able to find a paid role right away, there might even be some volunteering roles that you could do to help build your confidence while you find something more permanent. Would that be an option for you?

Hope you can find a way forward soon ☺️
