Careers with Disabilities is a website dedicated to helping both disabled job seekers and employers alike. Disabled job seekers can search for jobs that are right for them, get tips on interview processes, learn about the adjustments they might need in a workplace, and find a community of other people who live with disabilities.

Careers with Disabilities understand that people with disabilities face additional barriers when searching for a job. They believe that everyone should have the opportunity to have a successful, well-supported career.

Careers with Disabilities’ Vision

Careers with Disabilities’ aim is to provide the tools, information and guidance to help disabled job seekers and inclusive employers find each other. With the number of employed disabled people increasing by 1.34 million from 2013 to 2019, they are supporting the continued growth of disabled people in accessible work.

There are tens of thousands of people with health conditions, long-term illnesses and disabilities who are willing to work, but are prevented from reaching their potential due to employer misconceptions around accessibility.

Careers with Disabilities’ vision is to make job hunting as easy and stress-free as possible. Their guide for disabled people provides a wealth of support and information about employment.

Careers with Disabilities can support disabled job seekers whether that be with jobs for people with learning difficulties, health conditions, or people with visible or non-visible disabilities.

They provide guidance for disabled candidates every step of the way. As government regulations on employers’ rights and responsibilities are constantly changing, Careers with Disabilities continuously brings the latest information, clearly and concisely.

Careers with Disabilities’ Benefits

Careers with Disability’s website is beneficial for both employers and disabled candidates. Disabled job seekers can search easily through open positions, apply with their CV and email their resumes directly from the site. In addition to finding a job, disabled job seekers can find expert advice on interviews from the Careers with Disabilities blog, learn about workplace adjustments, and connect with others in a supportive community. Disabled job seekers can also let employers know what types of accommodations they may need in a workplace, such as modified work schedules if they cannot work standard hours, so employers can be aware of what to look for when hiring new employees.

What should employers consider when advertising on Careers with Disabilities?

An important factor employers should consider when hiring disabled employees is workplace programs. Disability job seekers should be aware of the necessary workplace accommodations for them, so Careers with Disabilities can help connect employers with qualified employees who need these accommodations.

“A flexible work schedule or telecommuting options allow an employee to come to the office less frequently, but to work the same hours. An employee may choose to only come into the office every other day or work from home on certain days that are harder for them due to their condition.”

“An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is an added benefit of many employers’ benefits packages, which can help employees who may be experiencing psychological issues associated with their disability cope and remain productive.”

“An education assistance program gives employees time off to attend classes or seminars, which may help them gain new skills in order to advance in the company or be better able to handle their current workload. These programs can also assist employees who are seeking a degree but need financial assistance.”

Employers should also be aware of how Careers with Disabilities can help with advertising open positions. Careers with Disabilities has social media channels, including Facebook and LinkedIn, which disabled job seekers can use to learn more about potential employers and interact with them for future job opportunities.
