Three quarters of blind and partially sighted people of working age are not in employment. This is a waste of resources and greatly reduces the horizons of those affected.
We can help you find work, or stay in your job, through our Employment service.
We are also working closely with the Department for Employment and Learning, and employers, to increase job opportunities.
Nationally, we have been campaigning for statutory Rehabilitation Leave to help people in work adapt to the onset of disability.
Volunteering can be a way into paid work. We welcome blind and partially sighted volunteers to work with us in all kinds of ways.
