VRC is an independent group of senior and expert consultants.  We provide consultancy, training and services for employment and disability, with emphasis on open employment in suitable work, and on using public and private services co-operatively..

 

We are located in the UK, and provide services throughout the UK and Europe.

 

All our consultants and associates are experienced in the practice and delivery of Vocational Rehabilitation, through various models such as residential care, case management, community settings, group and individual work.

 

We have helped to set up companies and to guide policy and action.

 

We have helped governments and local authorities to run pilot projects and to decide policy.

 

We have participated as partners or leaders in numerous UK and EU projects.

 

We are able to advise on employment in individual cases, or to recommend suitable service providers.

 

 

Our aim is to help the people we work with to access our experience as if it were their own, so they can be committed to  their plans and action, and able to implement them.

 

As trainers, we empower and inform students, teaching skills for the job. As employment advisors, we motivate clients and employers, and to provide support for them to achieve their goals. As consultants, we analyse each situation with the customer, to give them relevant and tailored advice.

 

This means we do not supply ready made training, proposals or advice; everything we do is led by the customer’s needs.  We believe in and practice good communication: clear language that is adequate to the circumstances and avoids jargon is important to us.

 

We work to the standards of the UK Vocational Rehabilitation Association, and have an active part in the Association’s governance. Informed consent to participation in our work is required from all parties.

 

Working as we do for many customers, we safeguard the confidentiality of their business and personal information. We do not share or re-work materials from one customer for use by another.

“VRC has helped Remploy to develop its commercial business plans for rehabilitation services and access audits, and has worked alongside other Remploy partners in our ESF programmes. We see VRC as an expert service that can help us make business decisions based on good evidence, clear thinking and long experience in employment and disability”.
