We aim to instil the confidence back into brain injury survivors and equip individuals with the support needed to return to work.
My experience at Attend is filled with memories of people who were always around to help and without the immense support, I would not have found my current job.
We understand that returning to work after a brain injury can feel overwhelming. Through the Attend employment programme, we aim to instil the confidence back into brain injury survivors and equip individuals with the support needed to return to work.
The first step will be to meet with us and from there, we will help you to:
- Understand the barriers that are stopping you from returning to work
- Develop an achievable plan on your journey with returning to work
- Establish realistic and meaningful job goals
Once we have a plan, you will have access to our Employment programme where you will receive one-to-one support with achieving your goals. You will be paired up with a member of the team who will have a background in working with people who have had a brain injury and will provide support with every step of the process.
