Helping people with mental health conditions get work

Helping people with mental health conditions get work

Hannah*, in her mid-50s, had been on a benefit for around 18 months and was struggling to re-enter the workforce because of her disability with mental health.

Through the Be.Accessible programme Hannah received specialist support and career guidance, and was introduced to a number of opportunities that suited her skills and career aspirations. She struggled with low confidence, particularly with regards to explaining her absence from the workforce, but Be.Accessible worked closely with her to ensure that she understood her value.

Be.Accessible promoted Hannah to employers and after securing a number of interviews she accepted an offer that reflects her experience and skills, working as a human resources advisor in a major business.
