The Employment Support Service helps people with disabilities, health problems and other significant barriers to find and sustain employment.
We believe that there is no 'one best way' to help a person to find employment because a person's skills, abilities, motivation and domestic circumstances are unique to them. We have a range of facilities to tailor the service to meet the individual service user's needs.

We operate the following key activities to deliver a service to support the unmet employment needs of people within Dundee: .

• Job Club to assist service users to look for employment
• Work Experience Placements to enable service users to develop their skills
• Support Team providing on-going support to people with significant barriers to employment
• Consultancy and Advisory Service to local employers, voluntary organisations and people who have disabilities and health problems regarding good employment practice

We also provide advice and guidance to people with disabilities and health problems who are currently in employment.
