Working, whether paid or unpaid, is good for our health and wellbeing. It also enables us to have greater independence.

There are many ways of getting a job which may involve training first or learning at work. It is helpful to speak to the right people to help you decide what is right for you.  

Why go to work:

  • Work keeps us busy and helps us to develop ourselves by learning new things
  • It gives us a sense of personal achievement
  • Work helps us to socialise and build support
  • It provides us with money to support ourselves and take part in hobbies

There is also a wide range of further education, training opportunities and supported internships available that will give you the skills, knowledge and experience to help you with your career path.
