Disability Employment Services

Tailored support that meets you where you’re at, and helps you get where you want to go

Whether you’re looking for work or looking to hire, we’re here to help. Our Disability Employment Services (DES) are designed to empower people with disability to find and keep meaningful work – and support employers to build inclusive and capable teams.

We take the time to understand you- your goals, strengths, and what’s important to you- so we can work together to find, not just any job, but the right job for you. And once you’re employed, we stick with you to make sure you’re thriving.
