Thanks for welcoming me. It's good to know that there are people out there who can help me and I appreciate the support. I turned to Scope as I wanted to see what help and support I could get from here. I want to work as I believe in working instead of just living off benefits all the time. I am employable but just need the right job to come along for me.

Hi @Laura220 and welcome to the Community. It is nice to meet you and thank you for sharing with us. You have been given very good advice and information by @Connie00 so I have nothing much to add, other than to wish you well in finding a job in the kitchen/catering trade. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on with this and if we can be of any further help then please just let us know. All the best.Winner of the Scope New Volunteer Award 2019.

Hello @Laura220 welcome to the community.

Thanks everyone for welcoming me. I am aware of Remploy and have been on GOV.UK to look at a list of disability friendly employers. I have support from the job centre and from a work coach called Kayleigh who specializes in finding people work. I am very encouraged so far and have more support this week. I appreciate it's not easy finding a job especially at Christmas when a lot of places will be very busy. I'm still looking for jobs as a kitchen porter/assistant as this is what I have experience in and given the right workplace I can and have succeeded in the past.
