Hi and welcome.

It depends what difficulties you have at work but you need to speak to your employer about this. Some information here in the links. https://www.scope.org.uk/advice-and-support/flexible-part-time-working/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwoKzsBRC5ARIsAITcwXEP-R5TI0J2VPs4nA_5xQD9WkbjXd4ovM-UKd-T6YNlXeUsZBvpsF0aApCLEALw_wcB

Welcome to the community @lbcmac. Glad to have you with us!
In addition to the great resources Poppy's provided, Citizens Advice also has some info here.

Hello @lbcmac

Examples of reasonable adjustments include:

A lowered desk for small workers
A work coach
A spellchecker or dictionary for those with dyslexia
A calculator for those who have poor numeracy skills
A wheelchair accessible building for those who need to use a wheelchair
A change in mindset for employers

I hope this is useful!

• Access to Work grant scheme
• Flexible working
• Asking for adjustments when you become disabled

Please do let us know if there is anything else we can do.
