Tori_Scope said: What kind of role are you after, if you don't mind me asking @Zee_64?
Ross_Scope said: Hello @Zee_64 Welcome to the community, it's good to see you join us. Sorry to hear that you are having challenges with job opportunities, it can be a very competitive market out there sometimes and landing a role is difficult. Volunteering is a good option as suggested above, and you could also explore some of Scope's employment services to see if any of them would suit you. Getting help and advice with things like CV writing, job hunting and interview skills are essential to get that upper hand on any competition, especially if you're at a time where you've struggled for experience.
MissMarple said: I don't know what kind of job you are looking for. In my experience charities and public sector employers tend to be more disability-friendly, especially if their area is in some way relevant to disability. Like Scope, Mencap, Age UK etc. I've also seen lots of staff with visible disabilities working in supermarkets.
Tori_Scope said: Have you been looking on Charity Job at all @Zee_64? It can also be useful to look at all of the jobs out there in your chosen field, in this case admin type roles, even if they're not in the right location or not an organisation you're interested in working for. By reading the job descriptions, you can start to build a general idea of the kinds of skills and experience you might need. It's great that you have some relevant qualifications Fingers crossed you'll find the right opportunity soon! Do check out Scope's employment services, as Ross suggested, too.
