Welcome to the community @Auntyembo it's nice to meet you!
It is great your daughter is looking for work and is already volunteering. Scope have a great service called support to work that help find jobs, improve CV's and applications over telephone appointments. Looking for employers awarded a level of the disability confident scheme is a good way of ensuring the places your daughter applies to are committed creating an accessible and welcoming work environment for everybody, considering all applicants and ensuring reasonable adjustments. This is a relatively new scheme so some employers may still use the term two tick employer.
I have attached links to scopes service and information regarding the disability confident scheme. I hope some of this information is helpful.

Hi @Auntyembo
Good Afternoon & Welcome ☃️☃️☃️
I have previously used
“Access to Work” as to return to work following my “Stroke”
They were very very good as they sorted out not only the “work aspect but also equipment & transport”
I would highly recommend them if that is what you are looking for????
Here’s the link for you below:

Hi @Auntyembo, and a warm welcome to the community!
Thanks for sharing this with us, and I'm sorry to hear of your daughter's struggles finding the right job. If you haven't seen it already, it may be worth having a look at Scope's Support to Work programme. -
Maybe a shop job would be fine like Co op I used to do shop work for a few months I did but I have bpd but a boy with adhd and aspergers has been there 3 years now

Thanks for all your advice, I shall be getting in touch in the new Yr regarding getting my daughter into work, it's so frustrating not only for my daughter but for me as well. She's an art student so we thought hobby craft would have been perfect for her as she knows her art, but no. The co-op have no jobs available at present time.
