Why you should partner with us 

Access a wider talent pool 

We introduce employers to candidates who bring enthusiasm, dedication, and fresh perspectives. Many organisations find that supported employees contribute: 

• new ideas and problem solving approaches 
• high levels of loyalty and motivation 
• added value to workplace culture and team dynamics 

Tailored recruitment support - at no cost 

We take time to understand your organisation, your roles, and the skills you need. 

Our recruitment support includes: 

• pre-screened, carefully matched candidates 
• assistance with job design or role carving 
• help with onboarding, paperwork, and workplace adjustments 

This saves time, reduces hiring risks, and ensures you find the right person for the right role. 

Ongoing in work support 

Once a candidate is hired, our support continues. We provide: 

• job coaching to help new employees settle in 
• guidance for supervisors and managers 
• regular check ins to monitor progress 
• support with any adjustments needed in the workplace 

This ensures smooth integration and long term success. 

Improve staff retention 

Supported Employment typically results in higher retention rates. Because candidates are well matched and supported, employers see: 

• greater stability in the workforce 
• reduced staff turnover 
• lower recruitment and training costs 

Enhance your workplace culture 

Partnering with Connect to Work helps build a more inclusive and positive environment. Employers consistently report improvements in: 

• equality, diversity, and inclusion

Being part of someone's employment journey also fosters pride across your organisation. 

Practical support with reasonable adjustments 

We help identify simple, cost effective adjustments that support success. Most adjustments are either low cost or free and often, none are required.
