Norfolk Employment Service
Norfolk Employment Service supports working age adults with a disability or longterm health condition who have been assessed under the Care Act and receive support from Adult Social Services.
Our focus is on building employability skills and enabling people to access community based opportunities, including volunteering, work experience, training, and education.
Who the service is for
We support working age adults who:
- Have a learning disability, mental health condition, physical disability, or are autistic, and have been assessed by Adult Social Care under the Care Act.
- Are motivated and have expressed an interest in work related activity, including volunteering, work experience, or skills development.
- Do not attend a day service, or those who do but want to access work related activities that their day service cannot support.

- Confidence building
