Supported Employment
What is Supported Employment?
Supported Employment is a personalised model for supporting people with disabilities to secure and retain paid employment. You can find out more by visiting BASE: the British Association for Supported Employment.
Our Supported Employment Partnership can help Lambeth residents secure opportunities to get their employment journey started.
If you are a disabled person, a parent or carer, or a professional who wants more information, you can get in touch with the Supported Employment Team.
