Support 4 Employment

Job seeking support

We provide information, advice and guidance on all aspect of job seeking to those with a vision impairment.

At the first client meeting, we conduct an assessment called an ‘enabler’, which allows us to provide person-centred support.

In most cases we conduct sessions on the following topics with clients:  CVs, cover letters, application forms, Access to Work, Equality Act 2010, job searching, disclosing vision impairment, interview skills and mock interviews, to name a few. We also assist with IT and benefits advice.

There is no time limit on how long we work with clients, nor any limit on how often we speak/interact with them.

We can also help clients find voluntary work first, to prepare for the world of employment.

Retention

We can support vision impaired people who are currently in employment but due to sight loss, are experiencing difficulties. Through the use of assistive technology, improving understanding of sight loss or Access to Work, these difficulties can be lessened, to enable people to continue with their existing employment. We also inform clients of the Equality Act 2010 which outlines the employer’s duty of care towards their vision impaired employees.

Where needed, we will communicate with employers to help them understand sight loss and how it may impact but not limit an employee’s continuation in their role.

Self-employment

We can provide information and guidance on self-employment in relation to self-assessment, Unique Tax Reference (UTR) number, expenses, Access to Work and any other general self-employment enquiries.

We do not offer business plan support or any advice on finances or business viability.

For more information please contact Zsuzsanna Szabo, Employment Manager on 07950 945 119 or by email zsuzsanna@support4sight.org.uk.

In partnership with the Macular Society

Colin Daniels of the Macular Society and Zsuzsanna Szabo of Support 4 Sight talk about areas of employment for those with sight loss.
