An introduction from our CEO
On behalf of everyone at SUSE, I am delighted to welcome you to our website. As we look ahead to 2025, we are committed to driving positive change across Scotland by enhancing the employability landscape for disabled people and playing a leading role in reducing the Disability Employment Gap.
Our priorities for the year ahead focus on collaboration, growth, and ensuring quality in the services we offer. We are proud to be working closely with Local Employability Partnerships across Scotland to support the roll-out of Specialised Employability Services, with a key focus on developing high-quality and successful services, co-produced with disabled people in local areas.
We are also dedicated to driving learning and development opportunities for employability workers, ensuring they have the skills and knowledge needed to provide the best possible support. Our commitment to the fidelity of the 5-stage Supported Employment model and the IPS (Individual Placement and Support) model is central to our work as we know these programmes have a track record of producing excellent results for job seekers .
Another key priority is to work with local authorities to deliver capacity-building training and services to employers in their area. This is vitally important as we know local services achieve more jobs when we give employers the skills they need to attract, recruit and retain disabled workers.
Finally, we are passionate about delivering meaningful and impactful learning opportunities and events for our members. SUSE has gathered together a group of experienced trainers and consultants who can deliver the impactful training the sector needs. Many of our colleagues are people with lived experience of disability and we are keen to grow this collective of talented and knowledgeable practitioners in the year ahead.
I encourage you to join us as a member of SUSE, where you’ll be part of a community that is dedicated to improving employability services, creating inclusive workplaces and driving lasting social impact. Together we can make a real difference.
Thank you for visiting the SUSE website. We look forward to working alongside you in 2025 and beyond.
Warm regards,
David Cameron

Scottish Union of Supported Employment
