Scope Support to Work Programme

Support to Work is a free online and telephone support programme for disabled people who are looking for paid work, in England and Wales.

You will get help from one of our specialist employment advisers online and over the phone. They can help you with:

• identifying your strengths and transferable skills

• developing confidence and job skills like time management

• reviewing your CV to meet your employment goals

• how and where to look for jobs

• mock interviews

• how to talk to your employer about your impairment and reasonable adjustments

But, your adviser:

• cannot write a CV or job application for you
• cannot search for jobs and work experience for you

Your employment adviser will work with you to create a personal and flexible 12-week programme. They will set you tasks to complete such as:

• reading work and careers advice
• writing a CV or cover letter from a template
• preparing for interviews

Your adviser will be on hand to help you throughout the 12 weeks. At the end of the 12 weeks your time with the adviser will end, but you'll still have access to all resources in your personal online portal.
