Work Able Scotland

18th August 2017

Work Able Scotland is a voluntary programme designed to support people who have a mental health problem into work. 

As part of our focus on our employment work this week, we hear from Claire Hardie, a SAMH Employment Specialist about Work Able Scotland. 

“Every client I meet and work with is different, with varying experiences, personalities, likes, dislikes. I am passionate about supporting each individual to create their own pathway. 

“I believe there is a job out there for anyone who is able and who wants to work.

“It is about helping people realise their own potential and instilling self-belief to help them achieve their employment goals. 

“As we spend so much of our time at work, I believe everyone should find a job that they love going to every day.”

Referral process

Work Able Scotland is a voluntary programme designed to support people for up to 52 weeks who have a health condition, in receipt of ESA (Work Related Activity Group) or Universal Credit (Conditionality Group 4), move into jobs of 16 or more hours per week.

SAMH are delivering Work Able Scotland throughout Glasgow on behalf of the Wise Group.
