In this episode of Voices of Supported Employment, Mel Kearney is joined by DurhamEnable triage advisers Hannah Seddon and Paula Wilson to explore stage one of the Supported Employment model: engaging jobseekers.
They discuss how accessible communication, flexible appointments and person-centred initial assessments can help build trust from the first contact. The conversation covers circles of support, easy-read information, zero rejection, employment motivation, consent, disclosure and supported signposting.
Featuring practical examples from the triage process, this episode demonstrates how meeting people where they are can create a positive introduction to Supported Employment and help each person identify the right next step.
