CTP ASSIST - WHAT WE DO
CTP Assist specifically helps personnel who have the greatest need for extra employment support according to their medical condition. Our aim is to support, advise and guide each of our clients to achieve their realistic preferred vocational outcome, whether that be part time employment, full time employment, volunteering, education or retirement.
We aim to empower, motivate and inspire those we work with to find a future outcome that works for each individual client – whatever challenges they may face.
The activities each client undertakes in planning their future must be driven by them and we are here to provide empathy, expert advice and guidance, and work with you as a team, providing honest and realistic guidance and recommendations. Engagement from each client with their Specialist Employment Consultant (SEC) and all the online tools available to them, where possible, is key to the support being successful.
Our team of Specialist Employment Consultants (SECs) want to understand what you would like to do, what you ‘can’ do, what you cannot yet do, and where you feel you require further support.
We work closely with our Employer Engagement Team to try and source individual opportunities to support each client, where possible.
