You are in control of where you place your advert.

Most people place an advert on our website as there are no costs involved. Advertise a Job is the job page run by Job Centres and is also free.

Other popular places to advertise include Disability North, job advertisings agencies such as Indeed or university websites. There may be a charge to advertise on these sites.

Wherever you advertise, you will need to provide information for the advert. Some sites have their own approach, or you could use Skills for Care as they have information and templates as a starting point.

You may be able to get support from your Social Worker or a member of the Self Directed Support team who help people with their Direct Payments. Applications are usually sent to the Self-Directed Support Team and are emailed or posted to the person advertising.

It doesn't matter whether you are receiving a direct payment or funding your own care - all these options are available to you. If you have been assessed with care and support needs, the Self-Directed Support team can offer advice and information to support you.
