🌟 Meet Aaron!
As a student at Shrewsbury College, Aaron completed his Supported Internship at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, taking on placements in both Catering and on a hospital ward.

Aaron has situational mutism and can sometimes find verbal communication challenging, but that certainly hasn’t stopped him from making an impression! Through his placements, he developed confidence in his preferred ways of communicating, built strong relationships with colleagues and became known for his brilliant sense of humour, including a daily written joke that quickly became a highlight for the people around him. 💚

With his Supported Internship successfully completed, Aaron is now working with Enable’s Connect to Work team as he searches for paid employment and continues working towards his goals. Read Aaron's full story on our website.

👏 Well done, Aaron. We can’t wait to see what comes next!

💡 Could a Supported Internship be your next step?
If you’re a young person with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and would like to develop your skills, confidence and experience in the workplace, you could work with Enable through a Supported Internship.

Supported Internships offer the opportunity to gain real workplace experience with dedicated support, while working towards your own employment goals. 💚

Thinking about getting back into work but not sure where to begin? 💚

You don't have to have everything figured out before speaking to someone.

Whether you're unsure what kind of job you'd like, your CV needs some attention, or there are other things making work feel difficult right now, that doesn't mean you can't start exploring your options.

Enable provides employment support to help people take their next steps towards work.

Real voices. Real experiences. Real change. 💚

For World Mental Health Day, we gave the mic to one of our Experts by Experience to share their perspective on mental health, lived experience and the importance of their role in creating change at Enable and across Shropshire Council.

🌍 A name is more than just a name. It’s part of who we are.

This Black History Month, we’re supporting the campaign from Race Equality Matters, which highlights the importance of getting people’s names right.

💬 Taking the time to learn and pronounce someone’s name correctly is a simple but meaningful way to show respect and help create a workplace where everyone feels they belong.

❓ Not sure how to pronounce someone’s name? Just ask.

📝 You can also help others pronounce your name by adding the phonetic spelling to your email signature, name badge or online profile.

🧠 Dyslexia at work: small changes can make a big difference.

For Dyslexia Awareness Week 2026, we’re sharing some practical tips that can help people manage dyslexia in the workplace.

This year’s theme, 'Dyslexia in real life: at work', highlights how things like communication, workplace systems, management and access to adjustments can affect dyslexic employees.

At Enable we believe that creating an inclusive workplace isn’t about a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s about recognising different needs, removing unnecessary barriers and enabling people to contribute and thrive.

Race equity requires more than words. It requires action.

Across Enable’s IPS services, we are working to make our workforce and client reach more representative of the communities we support.

Through our Race Equity Improvement Plan, we are reviewing referral data, strengthening inclusive recruitment, developing staff learning and working with partners to improve engagement with people from ethnic minority communities. So far, this has included regular race equity discussions, staff learning, partnership work and closer consideration of whether referrals reflect local communities.

Black History Month is an important opportunity to reflect and raise awareness, but our commitment to race equity continues throughout the year.

Meet Tom, the first of our 2026/27 Supported Internship cohort to start his work placement!

Tom, from Shrewsbury College, has hit the ground running at The Dana Prison in Shrewsbury. Alongside completing his induction, he's been helping staff add some Halloween fright to the site... because apparently a prison wasn't spooky enough already! 🎃👻
A brilliant start, Tom. We're looking forward to seeing what the year ahead brings.

We have spaces available for our Supported Internship programme for 18-24 year olds with an EHCP, an opportunity to the get workplace experience alongside college learning. Get in touch with us to find out more.

💙 A huge THANK YOU to some of the fantastic employers who have supported young people with disabilities through work placements this year.

We're proud to recognise the difference made by the teams at Guildhall Café, Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery, The Exotic Zoo and Severn Hospice Retail Store, who have welcomed young people into their workplaces, helping them gain skills, confidence and valuable experience for the future.

These opportunities can be life-changing, and they simply wouldn't be possible without employers who are willing to invest their time, encouragement and support.

Thank you for helping create a more inclusive community where everyone has the chance to thrive. 🌟
