Organisations that can help you
There are several organisations that can provide you with information and support, to help you keep the job you already have, or to help you find work.
Jobcentre Plus – Health and Employment Service
In each Jobcentre Plus, there are Health and Disability Employment Advisors who can help you if you are seeking work, or are unemployed. They can advise about the Access to work service, which enables deaf and hard of hearing people to compete on equal terms in the workplace, and provides funding and equipment to help people with hearing loss remain in work.
