The Employment Consortium is a group of public and voluntary sector organisations who provide employment support to people with disabilities and other support needs who live in Edinburgh and Midlothian.

Currently a pilot project, the aim is to develop a case management approach to guiding clients through a range of services from Consortium partner agencies. This approach hopes to demonstrate that by working together:

• waiting times can be reduced
• clients have more choice
• clients have access a wider range of services
• the journey to employment is shortened
• outcomes are achieved more quickly.
