Help for you to find work

Are you currently unemployed but interested in paid or voluntary work? Oxfordshire Association for the Blind have teamed up with RNIB to launch a new employment service, providing face to face employment support for people seeking paid or voluntary employment; along with advice for those who just want to consider their options.

Not only can this scheme help you to find your way to the work that suits you best, it also offers reassurance and backing: a way of ensuring all local companies comply with the 2005 Disability Discrimination
Act.

What we offer:

- One to one support to consider employment options.

- Support to find work placements, voluntary work or paid positions.

- Help with CV’s, job searching, completing application forms and interview preparation.

- Advice on Access to work and job retention.
