Welcome to the area of the Community that is for work and volunteering.
Here you can share your experiences and look for support around looking for work, finding volunteering opportunities and the realities of being in work or a placement.
You can create a discussion using the following link:

If you have any problems then please read our help pages.
As well as starting and replying to the discussions here you might also want to read some of our content in our employment section. You'll find articles about looking for work, dealing with bullying and career services that can help with employment issues. Our employment support section provides information on the training and support services available for job seekers and employees.
Our section for employers also includes a lot of content you may find helpful. It's written for employers but everyone may get something out of the advice.
If you would like to improve the support you receive in the workplace, our Employment Training and Consultancy Service offers a number of services which may help you. If you would like further information, email employment.training@nas.org.uk or phone 0207 704 7450.
And our helpline is there if you'd like to speak to someone - we're open from 10 - 4 on weekdays and the number is - 0808 800 4104. This number is free from landlines and most mobiles.
One of our members suggested this for anyone having issues in the workplace.
