I just been through a 4 week consultancy stage with my employment. I got redundancy this past Thursday. I'm bit overwhelmed at min I live on own and have Kytho-scoliosis and Respiratory 2 failure. I would like to find a job. And not sure where to go. I was in my job for just over five years

Hello @Sheree_8 and welcome to our online community.
I have responded to your other post about finding work and offered advice about Scope's support services that could help you find a job. I'm sorry you are going through this unsettling time. Where have you started looking already?

Hi @Sheree_8 - welcome to the community & thank you for sharing about yourself. I'm pleased you've joined as Scope has some info on looking for work with a disability, & also has a 'Support to Work' programme, which I see Cher has just mentioned in your other post. I hope you find this helpful, & do chat here any time as well.
