JobSense with Centre of Sign-Sight-Sound

JobSense uses Specialist Employment Advisers to support people with a sensory loss, through a range of interventions tailored to the needs and circumstances of the individual to achieve the following outcomes:

Confidence building and vocational skills, such as:

  • Knowledge, skills and work behaviours
  • Skills relating to developing applications for work
  • Problem-solving, communicating and relationship management
  • Emotional resilience and confidence
  • Manage money more carefully

Practical help, such as:

  • transport challenges
  • Identifying realistic and appropriate options for work
  • Information on vacancies in association with Job Centre Plus et al
  • Referrals to training programmes to learn additional skills, including accredited training and qualifications relevant to the participant’s journey towards work
  • Referral to further and higher education programs
  • Awareness of technology that can support sensory loss in the workplace
  • Providing access to work experience, work placements, volunteering opportunities and job tasters through a wide range of employers

Specific outcomes for each participant exiting the programme could be:

  • Supporting them into employment
  • Completing work experience placement or volunteering opportunity
  • Gaining a qualification or work relevant certification
  • Or engaging in job search.

The JobSense project also employs specialist Employer Engagement Coordinators to liaise with businesses across Wales to identify and facilitate suitable vacancies. We hope they will leave a legacy of employers better informed on the needs and support mechanisms (including Access to Work) available to people with a sensory loss.
