How Pluss can help you get great employees

Pluss work in partnership with thousands of employers of all different types and sizes. Our services include:

Pluss - disabled people at work photoPre-screening job candidates
We work with a wide range of disabled people that we get to know well. We pre-screen all our customers and will only put forward candidates that will be suitable for your jobs. 

Free Work Trials.
We can help you minimise risk with ‘try before you hire’ recruitment - through our work trial process.

Our customers will work for you (unpaid) for an agreed short-term period. If they are suitable, you can offer them the job. However, there is no obligation. We call this a 'working interview'.

We offer full support, training and coaching throughout. If appropriate, we can also help you access funding towards workplace adjustments.

Ongoing advice and support
When someone starts work with you, we offer ongoing mentoring and coaching.

Our Job Coaches are all fully trained. They will help your employee to do their job confidently and efficiently.

Help to comply with current legislation.
If you are unsure about the law and what reasonable adjustments you may need to make, we can help.

We have over 40 years experience in disability in the workplace. We can help you put into place practical solutions and support mechanisms.

Help to develop your reputation as a great employer
By partnering with Pluss, you can hold your head up high when it comes to disability.

We can help you develop disability friendly recruitment techniques including:

  • Creative recruitment solutions
  • Working Interviews
  • Advertising your vacancies on Pluss' website
  • Sending out Pluss' specially designed Do you have a disability? flyer with your application forms (online or hard copies).
  • Reciprocal weblinks

We can also help you

  • Apply for the 2 ticks 'positive about disabilty' symbol - use on your stationary, recruitment and publicity materials
  • Persuade your board and senior management - we deliver high level presentations on all aspects of recruitment and retention.
  • Spread the word to your staff through joint publicity and articles in your internal publications (posters, newsletters, flyers etc).

A safety net
We are also an objective third party if ever you have a difficult situation with a disabled employee. It can be very distressing for both parties if an employee develops a disability or perhaps has a progressive condition.

We can help you and your employee look at different ways of doing things - it may be looking at adjustments or simply being someone to talk to. Alternatively, we could consider a different role within your organisation or we may need to look at a different job altogether.

Whatever the situation, by working with Pluss, you can be confident that you are doing everything you can to support your disabled member of staff.

Dont forget - we are completely Free!

About Pluss

Pluss is a Social Enterprise that supports thousands of people with disabilities and other disadvantages into employment each year. We do this through a range of specialist, local employment services and through direct employment within our own Social Enterprises.

We passionately believe that our services should always include those furthest from the labour market and offer specialist employment support to people with a learning disability, mental health issues, physical disabilities and long term health issues.

We also believe that people with disabilities make excellent employees and are committed to directly employing disabled people; around half of our 500 strong workforce has a disability.

Pluss operates throughout South West England and West Yorkshire, with partner Social Enterprises across the UK. We currently develop , deliver and manage a range of innovative employability programmes on behalf of DWP (Work Choice prime contractor), a number of local authorities, NHS, European Social Fund and the Skills Funding Agency.

Pluss is owned by Devon County Council, Plymouth City Council, Somerset Council and Torbay Council.
