Stirling Council's Employability Service helps people overcome different kinds of barriers to getting a job, sustaining the post and being able to lead an independant life.
Many of the people we work with have disabilities, a learning difficulty, mental health problems or other health-related conditions.
We give advice, guidance and organise assessments, training, work experience and employment opportunities. Everything is focused on the individual needs of our clients. Our Case Managers work with clients to ensure a supported transition to appropriate training and employment opportunities.
Employers benefit too. We can help you make sure your organisation is inclusive, flexible and making the most of all the skills and potential in the local community.
The Employability Service:
-
Matches clients' needs, skills and abilities with employers' opportunities

Encourages employers to be flexible and to make reasonable adjustments to the workplace so it is more accessible to and suitable for people with disabilities

-
Gives clear information about health and safety and disability discrimination law

Works in partnership with a range of local organisations to offer a comprehensive recruitment support service
"We were very happy to work with Stirling Council's Employability Service in providing work experience placements. A client from Employability came to Tesco for a period of work experience. This was so successful that we were delighted to offer him a permanent post on his own merit. He is a valuable and popular member of the team and we can always rely on his standard of work" - Fraser Campbell, HR Manager, Tesco, Stirling
