We understand that applications are still being accepted for
places on the ‘Employment Works for
Autism’ project. The project supports
people on the autistic spectrum in
Surrey who want to work but are not
eligible for help from other supported
employment schemes.
It is run by
Surrey Choices EmployAbility, with
support from other organisations,
including the NAS Surrey Branch, and
funded by JobCentrePlus.
During their time on the project,
participants get individual coaching to
help them build the skills they need to
get into work, and supported work
experience placements are then found
to suit their interests and abilities.
Generally people have the opportunity
to do 2 different part-time work
experience placements, to expand
their skills further, and towards the end
of their time on the project they have
access to a specialist job club to help
them apply for permanent jobs.
Applicants should:
- live in the Surrey County Council
area
- be claiming either Employment and
Support Allowance (ESA) or Job
Seekers Allowance (JSA)
- not be in employment or education
- not be involved in any other work
related funded projects e.g. J2E,
Work Programme
