| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: Have accessed employment support in the past: applied for P/T jobs with help from job coach, without success. Understandable for employers, I'm much slower, have poor communication and visual competency, diabetes and balance issues mean risk of falls.

Volunteer maximum 4 hours once a week - flexible, due to fluctuating condition, fatigue - different expectation for paid staff. |
