    Thankyou! I ve recently graduated with a BSc ( Honours in Psychology with the open university - and I am hoping to use my experiences to help others - and eventually gain employment- living in a rural area makes this difficult

    Hi @norfolklou, perhaps Scope's Support to Work scheme may be worth looking into? Otherwise, there's lots of information on employment and working on the Scope website.

    Hope this helps you get started: we also have our ask an employment advisor here on the community!
