Job Introduction Scheme

If you have a disability, it is not always easy to know if the job you are about to start is suitable. There may be practical considerations to be taken into account before you accept any job offer.

The Job Introduction Scheme helps with these concerns by paying a weekly grant to employers in the 6 weeks to help with employment costs, ie an employee's salary or additional training. This may be extended to 13 weeks after agreement with Disability Employment Officers.
