New Deal for Disabled People
New Deal for Disabled People is a voluntary programme delivered throughout Northern Ireland by a network of Job Brokers.
When you meet your Personal Adviser he/she will seek to:
- Understand your situation
- Discover what kind of work you would like to do
- Give you advice about the local labour market
- Discuss with you the most appropriate route into employment
- Agree with you the next steps to take
As you progress on New Deal for Disabled People, your Job Broker will support you in preparing for and finding work. This could include:
- Matching your skills and abilities to the needs of employers
- Identifying if you have any training needs and then working with local training providers to give you the extra support
- Helping you through the process of applying for jobs
- Supporting you during your first six months in work
What should you do?
If you want to join the programme or just want to find out more information you should contact your local Jobs and Benefits Office.
Information on other Disablement Advisory Service programmes is also available.
