Our Vision
Our vision is to ensure that having a disability or long-term health condition doesn't prevent anyone from having the career that they want to have
We want disabled individuals to realise their career ambitions and employers to benefit from the unique talents and strengths that disabled individuals can, and do, bring to an organisation.
We use the term 'disabled' in the broadest sense
The term is used to include anyone who may face additional challenges in the workplace, be that a learning difficulty, a physical impairment or a mental health condition.
We support employers as they seek to understand and address issues surrounding disability within their organisation
Much of what we do focuses on helping employers to realise new possibilities through the recruitment and development of disabled talent, with a particular focus on students and graduates.
Connecting students with disabilities with employers who value talent
We help students with disabilities discover job opportunities with disability inclusive employers, access recruiter contacts and companies of their choice and provide advice, guidance and support on the application and hiring process.
If you are a disabled individual looking to progress your career potential join the MyPlus Students’ Club website to gain access to all the free advice and support available. Please note we do not offer one to one advice and support. Visit our Students’ Club website.
Bringing disability confidence to campus
We enable Universities to plan, support and elevate career progression for their disabled students and provide them with the knowledge, confidence and expertise needed to empower these students to improve employment outcomes
“We are delighted to be a partner of My Plus and over the last few years have seen visible results. Since our partnership we have seen an increase in both the number of applications from individuals disclosing they have a disability; as well as an increase in the number of trainees hired.”
