Workfit

At WorkFit we match jobseekers who have Down’s syndrome with employers who have jobs to offer. A dedicated WorkFit Officer supports jobseekers and employers at all stages of the process. WorkFit listens to the business needs of employers and matches them to the hopes and ambitions of jobseekers, supporting them to be more independent, learn new skills, meet new people, earn money and increase their self-esteem.

Support at work is ongoing and all support, resources and training are free of charge. Work means different things to different people. Some people want a paid job; some people want to volunteer or do work experience in different sectors so that they can decide what might be best for them.

‘WorkFit have been incredibly enabling for our son to find successful paid employment. He thoroughly enjoys his work and the staff have been welcoming, flexible and determined to ‘get it right’. We have felt so supported in the process and feel optimistic that our son will continue to extend his skills and knowledge in his work. Thank you to all involved. We are so proud.’
