The Cedar Foundation - Northern Ireland (Employment and Learning)

Employment and Learning:
Many people with disabilities face challenges in accessing and participating in employment and training. To help tackle these barriers Cedar offers a range of services across Northern Ireland to help individuals gain qualifications and develop the skills required to find a job or to get involved in the community. Working together with individuals, their families, and other professionals, we build links with training providers, colleges and support services.
We work closely with employers to encourage and support them to provide job placements and employment opportunities.
Brain Injury Services
At Cedar:  We are introduced to people who have survived Brain Injury due to a range of sudden and unexpected events, such as road accident, assault or stroke. Just as everyone will have had different life experiences before injury, the impact of Brain Injury on their lives is also unique. For some people they have to deal with significant and ongoing difficulties with their memory, concentration, emotions or behaviour as well as physical problems. These individuals may find that due to their injury they face challenges and barriers when they try to re-enter the workplace. The Cedar Brain Injury Services aim to enable people surviving Brain Injury to achieve their personal goals for returning to work, gaining qualifications and having an active life.
We cover all Trust areas:  Belfast, Nothern, South Eastern, Southern, Western
You can access our service via Social worker (Inclusion Works) and Self (SkillSET)
