Introduction

Job Focus is committed to giving you the advice and support you need to recruit reliable and motivated workers, who have a disability, to enhance your business.

We all have different skills and abilities, and people with disabilties are just the same: when a person with a disability has a job that suits them, their disability doesn't effect their ability to do the job properly at all.

The key is matching the right person to the job. Then - with our help - training and supporting them to become valuable and committed members of your workforce.

Overview

Job Focus is a free recruitment and on-site training service for businesses to employ people with disabilities. By carefully matching people to jobs, and then working with each new worker for a while, we are able to supplement your support and training so that you can include workers who would otherwise not get a go in the workforce.

By identifying what people can and can’t do, and by agreeing on what a job requires, we match job seekers to jobs in such a way that their disability does not affect their ability to do their job. If a worker's productivity is lower than usual, we can arrange for you to pay them a productivity based wage.

We support you through the whole process, saving you time and money on recruitment and training. Because we work alongside each new worker until they are doing the job properly, and have settled in to the workplace, you can be assured of a competent, reliable, cooperative and enthusiastic worker.

Successfully employing a person with a disability can be very rewarding in other ways too because it is ‘opening a door’ for someone - who would otherwise not get a go in the workforce - to enter not only the workforce but also the wider community.
