Employability Mayo

Job Seekers

Job Ready

Our aim at Employability Mayo is to support jobseekers who are Job Ready in finding a job of their own choosing, with our free and confidential employment support service. 


We provide a designated Employment Facilitator who will discuss and research all of your individual employment needs through a stepped process of consultations with both yourself and various employers.


There are four job-seeking phases which we work through with you, over a period of 18 months. We work with all types of disabilities including physical, sensory, mental health and learning difficulties. We strongly believe in the theory “Every person has a right to work” and so your journey starts here.

Your journey starts here
