Further information and guidance

Supported employment services

SUSE members provide specialised employment help for disabled people and employers. These services are free, confidential and tailored to the needs of each individual and business.

By clicking on the Resource Search, you can use our searchable database of supported employment services – the first of its kind in Scotland. Employers can use this to find SUSE members in their local area.
