Disability sympathetic employers

I shattered my hip and recoeved a head injury in a road traffic accident when I was 17, I now have a metal hip and a BA degree in Theology. Despite this I struggle to find and retain employment . I am currently working as a cleaner. I am finding the physical work a struggle, so I can imagine how this will end as I am employed by an agency. Can anyone suggest a disability sympathetic employer for when the enevitable happens and I am laid off.

Hi @Tucks,
We have a section on our website all about disability-friendly employers which may be of interest to you.
I hope this helps, but do get in touch if you have any further questions!Liam -
Hi @Tucks
Thanks for getting in touch. @LiamO_Dell has given you some great info on that Scope link - thanks Liam.
The government scheme to register so-called disability friendly employers is called 'Disability Confident'. There is info here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/disability-confident-employers-that-have-signed-up
I feel that you could be a good candidate for our Support to Work programme @Tucks , perhaps give us a call on 0300 222 5742 to see if we can help find something more suitable for you. I hope you get this sorted soon.

Hi Tucks
most employers now need to atear to the disability act, this is a sure way of employers looking at ways to keep their staff with the proper or any abdications you may require, we all have ability's and these are what employers are looking for in a diverse work force wishing you luck
