Supported employment is a service which helps people with
learning difficulties find work.
People called job trainers help you learn your new job and
make sure things go well.
Researchers from the University of Wales talked to people
with learning difficulties who have jobs.
The researchers also talked to people's bosses and job trainers.
People said:
Doing well at work means
working hard, being on time and remembering what needs to be
done.
Its important to work
out the right way to speak and behave in a job. And you need
to get on with the other people you work with.
Everyone needs help at
work. Getting good support from bosses and job trainers can
help you to do your job well.
Bosses can help by making
it easy for people to ask questions and talk about problems.
They can also help by telling people when they do a good job.
Job trainers can help by training people about how to speak
and behave at work. They can also make sure that people get
good support at work, even if things change or bosses leave.
