Back to topHow long will I be supported by my Inclusive Employment Consultant?

During the agreed settling-in period of your employment we will be in contact on a frequent basis.

It depends on your needs; your Inclusive Employment Consultant will work with your employer to ensure any required assistance or support is in place.

We will liaise with you and your employer to ensure the arrangement is working well for you both and make adjustments until everyone is satisfied. You will also have a contact number and email address for us, should you need to ask for help.
