What is Supported Employment West Sussex?

Supported Employment West Sussex is an exciting new partnership initiative where Aldingbourne Trust WorkAid and Workability from Impact Initiatives have joined together to provide employment support to individuals in West Sussex with lifelong disabilities, physical and sensory issues, acquired brain injury and those who are carers. 

The united service will continue to fulfil West Sussex County Council’s Supported Employment contract, and will offer bespoke support to enable and empower individuals to access and sustain paid employment in their local communities. ​
