Organisation profile

Steps is an award winning organisation committed to supporting young people and adults who identify as neurodivergent and/or disabled in preparing for independence and employment. Our multidisciplinary team of specialists work hand in hand with our research centre to ensure we are delivering evidence based and innovative solutions to inclusive employment which are aligned with current labour market trends.

We place a strong focus on empowering our learners to understand their identity, to be able to self-advocate for their needs, to develop transferable skills, and to exit our programme equipped with knowledge of the accommodations they need to be successful in the workplace.

We are fortunate to have 2 on-site inclusive employment models (a cafe and an outsourced service centre), two off-site models, and a range of employment partners which enable us to place people into work, support them on the job, and fade out support as needed. All of our inclusion team also have the opportunity to be involved in training parents/caregivers, employers, and government and embassy officers.

If you are looking to break away from traditional education or would like to apply your experience of working with the neurodivergent community to transition to employment, we would love to hear from you.

Commitment to Inclusion:

Steps is committed to promoting inclusiveness in its staff, advisors, and advisory board in order to enrich its effectiveness. Steps promotes inclusive hiring, retention, promotion, and board recruitment practices.
