Pluss' vision ...
 People of all abilities are inspired to achieve a career


 

Pluss is a Social Enterprise that supports over 2,500 people with disabilities and other disadvantages in to employment and a career each year. We do this through a range of specialist, local employment services and through direct employment within our commercial businesses.

We passionately believe that our services should always include those furthest from the labour market and that people should be empowered to succeed. Our highly experienced staff teams successfully support customers to find and succeed in work every day, and over the years this has given us a deep and thorough understanding of disability in the workplace.

Pluss is extremely successful at supporting people with a wide range of disabilities in to work. We offer specialist employment services for people with a learning disability, mental health issues, general disability, and long term health issues.

We also believe that people with disabilities make excellent employees and are committed to directly employing people with disabilities in our organisation; around half our 500 strong workforce has a disability.

We are a Local Authority owned company with an annual turnover of £23 million. We currently manage, deliver and develop a range of innovative employability programmes on behalf of DWP, a number of Local Authorities, NHS, European Social Fund and Funding Skills Agency.


We also advise and support around 800 employers to recruit and retain staff with a disability, and embrace diversity in the workplace.


Our commercial enterprises offer permanent and paid trainee employment opportunities for hundreds of people with disabilities. They manufacture a range of products, and deliver community and mobility equipment services. Our commercial customers include Vi-spring and the NHS.
