Kent Supported Employment

Kent Supported Employment (KSE) can provide support for people with a disability who are looking for a job.

We support you to have the same chance to get jobs as non-disabled people and can provide you with an employment advisor who will meet with you on a regular basis and provide tailored help to prepare you for work.

This ongoing support helps you to retain a job and progress and develop in that job role.

We also provide people who are looking to recruit to a role with the right help and support so that both the employer and the employee have a positive experience of employment.
