Testimonials
Ditte
Patchworker
I found a job through Patchwork Hub – a senior level position with a leading financial services company.
Throughout the process I felt supported by very dedicated people, both at Patchwork Hub and the company,
and it was really refreshing to be able to openly talk about my health condition and not feel like I had to actively avoid the subject.
Their support was simply invaluable.
Ranjeet
Patchworker
Patchwork Hub helped me land a full-time job with a renowned multinational finance brand.
Disabilities present significant challenges to daily tasks, which are exacerbated when seeking employment.
However, Patchwork Hub was incredibly thoughtful and meticulous throughout my application process, with a special focus on removing barriers.
Thank you Patchwork Hub and Beth for taking the time to connect me with this opportunity and making the entire process so smooth and efficient.
Rock
Patchworker
I applied for a job through Patchwork hub and secured a job at a FTSE 100 company.
This is so fantastic, not just for my bank account and CV but also for my confidence.
Without Patchwork Hub - both its accessibility and the support and understanding they offer - this would not have happened for me.
A platform taking a proactive approach to raising awareness amongst employers, and approaching disability inclusion in a way where we're not 'othered', is transformational
Ben
Patchworker
I secured employment with a FTSE 100 company through Patchwork Hub.
I would like to thank Beth and the team for helping me through the recruitment process and being there to give advice and support throughout my placement.
It was refreshing to be honest about my condition and know that the company was ‘disability aware’ and would be inclusive and understanding too.
This meant that I was able to focus on my job, learn from my colleagues and feel part of the team.
I would advise others to make the most of this unique platform, its placement schemes and the opportunities they provide.
