Employment Opportunities

Home



Employment Opportunities is the national charity dedicated to creating routes into employment for people with all disabilities and medical conditions.

Our vision is of a society where the full potential of people with disabling conditions is recognised in every workplace.

We work nationally and locally with many groups, from people with all disabilities and medical conditions, employers and employers’ groups, to government agencies, training establishments and university careers services. Through our employment programmes and policy research, we aim to develop confidence and skills and promote inclusion and diversity.

    To achieve our goal of doubling the number of people we help, it is crucial that we continue to increase and diversify our fundraising income. Find out how you can help.
