Every five minutes, stroke destroys lives. Help us rebuild them and join our team.

DFN Project SEARCH is the largest transition to work programme for people with learning disabilities and autism in the world! We are a community that gives voice to a social injustice – did you know that only 5.1% of people a learning disability and or autism, known to adult services, are in work in the UK? Yet 70% of those on our programme secure paid work, at above the minimum wage and an incredible 60% are full time roles.
We are really proud to be a social movement for change that makes clear economic sense, is the right thing to do and enables people to be the best that they can be.

We are evidence based, high aiming and everything we do is based on research. We are committed to continuous improvement and are pace setters in this area. Our programme is based on strong partnerships and our role is to provide the model, tools, training, and quality assurance to enable each participant to flourish.

outcomes. This relates particularly to sites achieving less than 60% employment outcomes.

Our model will mean that our regional Programme Specialists will form new partnerships and

sites will then be passed to our Programme Impact Co-ordinator team where you will then be
specifically required to nurture these strong partnerships and continue to train and support
colleagues within your area. You may also be required to support colleagues promoting DFN
Project SEARCH in other areas and contribute to the development of relevant new focussed
materials.

Key Responsibilities:

- Promote and train teams in the use of the Annual Delivery Framework, to evidence progress and identify further training / support needs.

We believe that people with severe and profound learning difficulties including autism should have a life full of expression, passion, and enjoyment. To enable this to happen we aim to educate, support, and empower through both empowering training and supporting those in our community. That’s why we use music to enable people with learning difficulties to express themselves, connect with others, and feel the warmth of music.
