Hello and welcome to the community @emmafinerty
Thank you for posting, and I'm sorry to hear that you have found finding employment a challenge. When in employment or applying for it, do you discuss what support you might need to make the interview process and working there more accessible for you? It can be a hard conversation to have, but having it can help yourself and the employer develop more of a shared understanding of how you can be supported.
As mentioned above, Scope have some employment services which you might be interested in accessing, you can read about those here.Online Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing? Flag your concerns with us.

Hello @emmafinerty
I would like to add to @Tori_Scope's response if that's ok! I had a sparkling thought. Do you have transferable knowledge, skills, and training? Such as people skills, communication skills, sales, managing money, passion, etc? These are just some examples and definitely won't include everything you would have learned and developed along the way! It all depends on what you want to apply for. A good starting point is to think about the common criteria being asked for in the jobs you are applying to, bullet point how you meet these criteria, and then write around these applicability points!Community Volunteer Adviser with professional knowledge of education, special educational needs and disabilities and EHCP's.

Hi @emmafinerty
You can view a list here of the employers that have signed up to the disability confident scheme. However, just because an employer isn't on the scheme that doesn't mean they won't be accommodating.Online Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing?
