Creating Careers Transforming Recruitment

IMG 6829 10 40 40

Recruitment is a significant challenge for employers.

At the same time, finding meaningful work is one of the biggest challenges that people with a learning disability and autistic people face. Supported by the National Lottery Community Fund, we started Creating Careers because working together these challenges become solutions. 

How it works

Creating Careers is a new approach to supported employment that is built on working together. Its aims are simple:

  • Help employers fill vacancies with loyal, skilled, hard-working employees
  • Help people with learning disabilities and autistic people prepare for and succeed in the workplace
  • Support workplaces and employees to learn from each other, to benefit from broader experience

How we'll support you

As an employer reading this you are already taking a step forward to doing things differently. Our job is to make your journey from here to more inclusive recruitment as smooth as possible. 

Our friendly team will help you do this by:

  • Being real, we encourage a no-questions barred approach 
  • Being extension of your team, we're local people who care about local businesses and the communities we live in 
  • Being coaches, we'll be available to deliver inclusive employment training to help your business adapt its approach and culture
  • Being mentors, we will work with candidates to support them to learn the skills you need for them to perform well in your vacancy

      What our Career Creators say...
      As a business we've got a responsibility to support the communities we live and work in. Creating Careers candidates bring so much to the workplace. New skills, new ideas and perspectives. I'd encourage any local business to get involved. - Kerrie Allison: Head of Customer Engagements Focus Group
