Supported Employment in Learning Disability Services — A Complete 7-Part Guide
Supported Employment is one of the most effective ways to help people with learning disabilities move from aspirations into real, meaningful jobs. But commissioners, inspectors, and families are looking for more than intentions — they want to see practical strategies, proven approaches, and measurable outcomes.
This seven-part blog series explores what good supported employment looks like in practice — from vocational profiling to employer partnerships, job coaching, and long-term in-work support. Whether you’re preparing a learning disability tender, a domiciliary care bid, or home care submission, these insights will help you strengthen your evidence and outcomes.
