We are thrilled to announce that one of our residents Rosie, has secured new employment, in our (NI) HQ in Armagh. This exciting step not only marks a significant achievement for Rosie but also underscores our commitment to empowering individuals and fostering community inclusion in the busy ‘world of work’. By supporting Rosie in this new role, we continue to develop a culture of growth and inclusivity within our organisation.
Rosie’s accomplishment – in sourcing paid employment – is a testament to her hard work and determination. It also highlights the broader importance of ensuring that individuals with disabilities are given equal opportunities in the workforce. Despite the progress made in recent years, discrimination against people with disabilities remains a significant issue in society. Equal pay and equal opportunities are not just goals, but necessities, for creating a fair and just community.
Paid employment is a critical factor in promoting independence and enhancing the quality of life for individuals with disabilities. It provides not only financial stability but also a sense of purpose and belonging. Many individuals with disabilities still face barriers to meaningful employment – and paid employment – including prejudices and misconceptions about their capabilities.
By celebrating Rosie’s success, we aim to raise awareness about the importance of inclusive employment practices. Everyone deserves the chance to contribute meaningfully to the workforce and to be compensated fairly for their professional efforts. As we continue to support Rosie and others like her, we reaffirm our commitment to fighting for equality and breaking down the barriers that hinder full community participation, for so many people.
Let’s all join in celebrating Rosie’s success and the positive impact it brings to our own workforce and community. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that everyone has the opportunity to live life to their fullest!
Well done Rosie!
