Access to Work

What is Access to Work?

Access to Work is a funded employment scheme crafted to support individuals with a physical or mental health condition or disability at work. Tailored to your unique needs, the support may encompass a grant for practical assistance, guidance on managing mental health at work, or funds for communication support during job interviews.

If you are Neurodivergent, encompassing conditions like ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, or autism, you can apply for financial support. This aid can cover the fees of collaborating with a fully trained Clevertouch Support Worker. No formal diagnosis is required for application!

How can a Support Worker help me?

Our extensive experience involves collaboration with business owners, entrepreneurs, professionals, and neurodiverse families. We confidently claim a unique level of expertise unmatched by other providers.

Understanding the distinctive aspects of neurodiverse individuals, we guide you in embracing these differences amidst the noise. Our objective is to simplify your life, handle tasks efficiently, and support you in accomplishing your goals.

During the application process, you’ll be prompted to share how your condition influences your work and the type of support you deem necessary. It’s essential to recognize the potential benefits of a Support Worker, even if adjusting to this concept may not be straightforward, particularly for those accustomed to ‘Just doing it!’
