Supported Employment – free service to individuals and employers
Restart Orkney – employment, reuse & recycling
 

Description
Employability Orkney - developing and promoting the employability of individuals furthest from the labour market in Orkney.

Anyone who experiences a disadvantage in gaining employment is catered for. This includes individuals with learning or physical disabilities, mental health needs, alcohol/substance misuse needs, ex-offenders, care leavers and the long-term unemployed.

We offer a free Supported Employment service to individuals AND employers.

Our Restart Orkney project helps people living on low-income or benefits. We carry out restoration of donated furniture, and reuse salvaged materials to manufacture original products.

Items are sold in our low-cost Showroom along with good-quality, donated household items and white goods.

Through social enterprise we provide a range of supported volunteering, training and paid work opportunities for people who face barriers to mainstream employment.

Employability Orkney is registered in Scotland as a charitable company, limited by guarantee.
