All potential new staff have an initial assessment to gain an understanding of their needs to support them to achieve their goals and full potential.
Yateley Industries provides Supported Employment through a range of different ways.

Individuals are assessed to ensure that we can offer appropriate and inclusive support, whilst gaining an understanding of their needs, to reach their goals and flourish. The Governments Access to Work Scheme and Access to Work Plus may assist paid employees where specialist equipment may be needed, e.g. signing interpreter, support worker, travel expenses.
We can offer support with:
- Identifying your strengths and challenges in employment

Our equal opportunities policy ensures that everyone has equal access to training and development opportunities at our factory with the appropriate level of support. We want each individual to have the opportunity to fulfil their potential and feel empowered.
Occupational Day Care
Yateley Industries also provides Occupational Day Care for clients that require additional support.
We have a number of sessions available each week for individuals to undertake work-based skills training.
Experience shows us that individuals undertaking such opportunities benefit from spending time within a work environment, as well as building on social skills whilst working.
