Employ and support people with disabilities

The Department for Communities' Work Psychology Service (WPS) offers specialist consultancy to individuals and/or employers seeking advice and guidance in areas relating to disability and wellbeing in the context of work.

The WPS works closely with Work Coaches in Jobs & Benefits Offices to offer advice and guidance regarding individuals who have a disability or health condition and are seeking work or who are experiencing difficulties in work.

The WPS Assessment Service can provide advice to both employers and individuals regarding reasonable adjustments and possible alternative employment options, when the individual is at risk of losing their job as a result of their disability or health condition.
