Doncaster Autism Service

16/06/2026

This week is !

At City of Doncaster Council, we offer resources for young people and adults with SEND to help make joining the workforce less challenging.

Meet 'Connect to Work' - a free service providing one-on-one support and small group sessions.

These resources provide help to people with learning difficulties, difficulties, or neurodiversity (including those without a formal diagnosis) to:
• Identify their strengths
• Set achievable goals
• Create a CV
• Apply for jobs
• Prepare for interviews

🔗With strong ties to local employers, Connect to Work ensures ongoing support for job success, find out more: https://advancedoncaster.co.uk/connecttowork
