ELITE Supported Employment Agency Ltd is a voluntary organisation, which enables individuals with disabilities to access and maintain paid employment via a tested system of support and training. The Agency operates throughout the areas of Rhondda Cynon Taff, Bridgend and Merthyr Tydfil, with offices in Talbot Green and Merthyr Tydfil. The Agency does not focus on any particular industry, but matches individuals to employment suiting their choices, skills and abilities. The organisation is governed by a Management Committee consisting of individuals with disabilities, various professionals, parents, employers and representatives from other training organisations. The individuals that we aim to assist have previously been considered by statutory services or employers as unemployable. We support both individuals and employers to enable employment to become a reality. We also provide a co-ordination service to both individuals and employers to enable the transition from benefits, enabling the equipping or improved access to workplaces, along with the provision of tailored training, motivational support or problem solving. A vast amount of people have gained and maintained employment with ELITE's support and over 500 employers have reacted positively to our organisation, since our set up in 1994. However, our work to date is just the tip of the iceberg. If you require our service, are an employer with a vacancy or also require help or could provide valuable support to our organisation as a Management Committee member, contact ELITE on 01443 226664.
