What We Do
SES focuses on employment programmes to help people with disabilities and health conditions get back into work. The main employment programme is Workable (NI).
SES Values & Ethos
- SES is committed to provide the best quality service to programme participants, employers and programme commissioners
- Provision of person-centred services to people with disabilities and health conditions which respect the dignity, aspirations and choices of each individual
- Sharing resources, knowledge and expertise to ensure delivery of a high quality, standardised service across the SES partner organisations.
Workable (NI)
Workable (NI) is also administered by the Department for Communities. It is a flexible programme which assists people with disabilities to return to work or remain in their current job of at least 10 hours/week or more.
SES partnership has also been awarded 1 of 3 contracts to deliver the Workable (NI) programme across Northern Ireland
Each of the SES partners provide their own tailored specialist support to best meet the needs of the individuals they assist in the workplace. Support may include:
- Specialist one to one support to the individual
- Provide on the job and/or outside of work training
- Provide specific training identified for the employee to assist them in their work above what the employer would normally offer
- Provide specific disability awareness training to employer and work colleagues.
- Offer advice and assistance with making reasonable adjustments in the workplace
A support package is agreed between the employee, employer and the SES provider for a period of 1 year, however this can be extended depending on the individual needs.
Referral onto the Workable (NI) programme can be completed by SES staff.
