Finding suitable work and planning a career can be a major concern for many students with a disability or health condition. 

The Careers & Employability Service can offer additional support and can provide information, advice and guidance on accessing disability confident employers and voluntary organisations, disclosing your disability and requesting reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process and beyond.
