    Hi @susanj, and welcome to the community! I'd recommend that you or your grandson have a look at our parents and carers category, and also Scope's employment services. We also have employment advisors who can advise on any questions you may have!

    Hi @susanj,

    Thank you very much for your enquiry.

    I am absolutely confident your grandson can find employment in the near future.

    I believe Scope's new Support to Work service is a great starting place for him as it is a 12 week digital employment service, which offers a gentle approach.

    It will enable him to build confidence, identify skills he can bring to the workplace and develop his job search skills.

    One of our employment advisers can tailor support to assist in the following areas; CV and cover letter writing, interview tips/practice and job application guidance. 

    If you would like more information on the service or would like to register for support, please do not hesitate to call us on 03002225742 or visit our website on:

    Kind regards,

    Donisha
