Looking for a new job, or struggling in your current role?

Our disability employment service is here to support you. 

The disability employment gap needs to be closed. In the UK, the employment rate for disabled people is around 52%, compared to 81% for non-disabled people.

At Sense, we believe everyone has a right to equal access to work.
