About Us

Intowork is a voluntary sector organisation that provides supported employment services to people with disabilities in Edinburgh, Midlothian and West Lothian.

Our employment service teams provide direct support and guidance to people wishing to gain employment.

Background

Originally formed as the Intowork Resource Team in 1993, Intowork was set up with Urban A funding from the Scottish Executive and was directly managed as a project of Lothian Regional Council.

The aim of the project was to look at ways to enhance the work of local disability and employment organisations through:

  • partnership working.
  • the development of shared resources
  • the development of mechanisms to facilitate the sharing of information and ideas.
Identify gaps in service provision and look at ways to fill them, in some cases by developing new projects.
Research good practice and identify projects or activities that could be replicated locally.

Around 1998/99 Intowork moved into a different phase of its development by getting involved in the setting up of employment projects that could offer direct support and guidance services to disabled people seeking employment.
