Breakthrough Supported Employment

Breakthrough is a supported employment service in Bracknell Forest.

Our aim is to help people with learning disabilities and/or an autism diagnosis to prepare for, achieve and maintain meaningful employment. We find that many people with a learning disability and/or an autism diagnosis want to work and do not want to be dependent on benefits. Paid employment can provide a sense of independence, both personal and financial, that they would not otherwise have. It allows them to make a wider circle of friends, earn money and put their skills to use in creative ways and achieve their full potential.

Ways we help: Preparing for work • Preparing for interviews • Job centre appointments • Job training • Travel training.

After you get a job, we will help you: Learn your new job through job coaching if you need support and will stop supporting you when you are ready.

Breakthrough also works with businesses to assist our individuals in their new role. We understand that learning a new role may take a bit longer than usual or need a different approach. Our team will work with a company and their new employee until they can work independently.

We can also advise on reasonable adjustments that may be required for the individual to achieve their full potential in the role.
