Remploy Limited - Workstep Project

At Remploy we work with people with health conditions and learning difficulties to help them into employment.

 

We run soft skills training to help work on areas such as confidence, hurdles into employment, interview skills and self belief. We run job actions groups/one to one for candidates to help with job searching and application. We also help with travel and interview costs, clothing for interviews and back to work grants once they start employment.

 

Candidates work with a development plan to help them back into employment. Once a candidate is in employment we provide support to them for up to 2 years to make sure they sustain the position.
