Workwise

What is Workwise?

If you require any advice or guidance please contact Workwise.  

You will be asked to give general information about yourself and explain how your special employment needs affects your ability to work.

If you meet the Workwise criteria you will be assigned a job coach.

What is a job coach?

A job coach is a Workwise advisor who will work closely with you and help you find suitable employment.

If it is needed, your job coach may help you prepare an action plan.

This action plan will enable you to recognise your current strengths and weaknesses as well as employment potential, whilst focusing on suitable and realistic employment opportunities.

What about training?

If needed, a variety of training courses are available to help you into employment. These include

• preparation for  work
• confidence building
• personal development
• computer training
• work experience programmes

Workwise can also offer support with any of the employment process including:

• completing application forms
• updating a C.V
• improving interview techniques

I am working, but I have difficulty with some aspects of my job. What should I do?

If you are already employed but are having some difficulty with your present job, you or your employer might consider speaking to a member of the Workwise team.
