Working in the disability sector can offer many rewards and opportunities for those looking for a long term career, as well as being very satisfying.

Local government and other responsible companies will have in place equal opportunities policies, to ensure equality for all and to combat prejudice.

Or secondly a job search for disability jobs can mean able-bodied people who wish to work with disabled people i.e. they may want to do this for a variety of issues like combating disability discrimination as well as sex discrimination and ensuring equal rights for all.
