I'm disabled haven't worked yet from being disabled, I looked on government website only 50 disabled friendly employers. Then look a d was showing 600 jobs. Social care and chefs. I can sit down or stand up for long for bend over often. I need a carer haha

I work for a 'Disability Confident' employer, what is it you want to know? There are varying levels and it starts with the basics, making job applications and the recruitment process disabled-friendly.

I work for a Disability Confident employer. You would be guaranteed an interview as long as you meet all the criteria in the person spec. There’s a section in the application to request reasonable adjustments. Often it’s something like having the interview questions written down or repeated.
