Access to Work

What is Access to Work?

Access to Work is a UK government scheme that helps people with disabilities, mental health conditions, or neurodivergent traits get the support they need to stay in work, start a new job, or move into self-employment. It’s designed to break down barriers and make the workplace more inclusive and accessible for everyone.

What Support Can You Get?

Access to Work offers a wide range of tailored support, depending on your needs and job role. This might include:

• Specialist coaching or mentoring for conditions such as ADHD, autism, or dyslexia

• Assistive technology like screen readers, speech-to-text software, or ergonomic equipment

• Adaptations to your work environment

• A support worker or job coach

• Help with travel to and from work if public transport isn’t an option

• Mental health support from trained professionals

How can Pathways for Progress help?

At Pathways for Progress, we provide personalised support funded through the award you receive from Access to Work. Whether you need one-to-one coaching, mentoring, assistive technology training, or help building workplace strategies, we tailor our approach to suit your needs.
