We built the Support Hub to be there for you, to provide practical, on-demand support for disabled people in academic and professional roles with senior, autonomous, and / or complex workloads. Our expertly trained and accredited team of Disability Work Coaches are available on video, on demand throughout the working week for the support you need. From juggling priorities to ‘translating’ communications, setting up or refreshing work organising strategies, breaking the decision inertia or self-doubt, or navigating new aspects of work TWIP Coaches are here for you, on demand all week.
Consistent support that is not dependent on the availability of one Support Worker, but still with the human support of a small group of trained TWIP coaches who facilitate the small-group support sessions, and the co-working hub where you can find TWIP Coaches available for on demand ad hoc 1:1 support. Support Hub Membership also provides access to our growing library of resources, information, and tools. From guidance on simple, practical reasonable adjustments to ask for, to example Stress Risk Assessments for neurodivergent academics, and from chronic illness pacing and fatigue management resources, to disability rights campaigning toolkits.
