What have you done today, to make you feel proud?
Since its inception in 2009, ECL has been delivering the very best support to adults with learning disabilities across Essex. Now the largest care provider in South East England, the company believes everybody should be given the opportunity to unlock their full potential and is committed to working with like-minded employers to realise that ambition.
If you are part of a business, big or small, which values inclusivity and diversity then we want to hear from you! ECL’s ground-breaking Inclusive Employment scheme seeks to identify paid employment prospects for its pool of enormously talented, but all too often overlooked candidates. Its experienced team of Inclusive Employment Consultants has an exceptional track record when it comes to placing adults with learning disabilities into their perfect roles, enabling them to improve their skillset and achieve greater independence, while delivering enormous benefits for the companies lucky enough to get them on board.
Often, applicants will thrive on routine and take real pleasure in undertaking tasks which others may find difficult to sustain. These unique candidates also have an infectious enthusiasm for life and will wear their uniforms with pride, offering a seldom seen level of loyalty and commitment in return for your faith in them. Whatever the role, full on-the-job coaching and vocational training is offered by ECL at no cost to you and support is on hand every step of the way, from interview through to induction and beyond.
Aside from the satisfaction you’ll get from becoming an Inclusive Employer, by displaying your status as Disability Confident your customers will know that you are giving somebody their chance to shine, and studies have shown that they’re likely to reward you richly for it. So, whether you’re looking for some extra help a few days per week, or even just for a few hours, ECL is waiting to introduce you to your ideal employee.
