Our Next Generation Inclusive University partnership with EmployAbility

As well as the services you can get from the Careers Service, we are proud to have a Next Generation Inclusive University partnership with EmployAbility.

If you have a neurodivergent condition, mental health condition or another disability, EmployAbility can provide you with individualised advice and support about adjustments for recruitment and the workplace and information about your rights. They can also support you with your application.

The EmployAbility team will also advocate for you with an employer to ensure you receive the adjustments you need, taking any stress and anxiety out of the process.

They also run first year, internship and graduate programmes, as well as vacation schemes and training contract opportunities with inclusive employer partners. You can also benefit from their employer insight days, networking events and skills workshops to maximise your chances of success.

We can organise additional support, such as longer one-to-one sessions for D/deaf and disabled students.

We also advertise opportunities specifically for disabled students throughout the website.
