at University Hospital Wishaw! 🌟
Today, Matthew had an incredible opportunity to take part in job shadowing across a range of non-clinical departments within the hospital.

He spent time speaking with staff, observing their work, and learning about the essential roles that keep the hospital running smoothly behind the scenes. Everyone was so welcoming and happy to share insights into their responsibilities and the teams they lead.

Matthew said he thoroughly enjoyed his experience and gained valuable knowledge in areas such as:
✅ Mail Room Porters
✅ Porters Team Leader
✅ General Store Person in Theatres Stores
✅ Porters Co-ordinator
✅ Logistics Manager
✅ Security & Switchboard

A huge thank you to all the staff who made this day so informative and enjoyable! And to Joan from DFN Project Search HQ and North Lanarkshire Council Supported Employment for supporting 👏

As part of our AGM and 30th Anniversary celebrations last week we launched our newest initiative, Apt 30 - recognising the organisations who have continually demonstrated their commitment to being inclusive employers.

We were delighted to be joined on the day by some of the amazing organisations who are part of Apt 30 - pictured below are ACS Clothing Ltd, NHS 24 and Museums Galleries Scotland.

We're looking forward to working more with all our Apt 30 partners – opening recruitment opportunities for disabled job seekers and encouraging sustained paid employment for disabled workers.

🎉 Celebrating 30 Years of SUSE!

On Tuesday 28th Oct, SUSE marked a major milestone - our 30th Anniversary - alongside our AGM at the Glasgow Science Centre. It was a day of reflection, inspiration and forward-thinking as we celebrated three decades of championing inclusive employment across Scotland.

We were thrilled to welcome our newest members, Bipolar Scotland and Visibility Scotland, who delivered powerful presentations that underscored the importance of lived experience in shaping Supported Employment services. We would also like to extend our thanks to Museums Galleries Scotland for their inspiring presentation - showing what’s possible when employers focus on inclusion and accessibility and why their partnership with SUSE matters.

The event spotlighted SUSE’s new strategic direction - focused on enhancing support for Supported Employment, reducing the Disability Employment Gap, and promoting inclusive practices across Scotland. Thank you also to our current and former Trustees for their support and participation.

A huge thank you to all our attendees, presenters and partners who made the day so special. Your continued support drives our vision: that all disabled people in Scotland have access to quality jobs with good support to achieve success.
