*I'm not writing this myself, I've got someone else to write it for me*

Hi all,

I have been diagnosed with sporadic hemiplegic migraines and my triggers are light, noise and postural based so I can't use digital screens, power tools and can't bend my neck otherwise I have an attack. No medications have worked so I'm currently having to manage the condition myself.

Because of this I am struggling to find a career. I'm currently working as a school minibus driver but it's only part-time and term-time so I'm not earning much.

I thought I'd ask on here to see if anyone has any ideas about careers that I could do. I'm open to retraining, going back into education, or anything else really.

Many thanks for any suggestions.

    Hi @JamesP92 and welcome! It's good that you're open to any kind of work, you never know where it may lead!

    As Jane says you can take a look at Scope's Employment Services or there's the Support to Work programme. Don't hesitate to ask if there's a question I haven't answered, and do let us know how your search goes.

    Alex
