Congratulations in securing this new job!
And not to be patronising — we personally know how hard it can be, so genuinely, well done.
Whether it’s your first role, a career change, or a return to work, it’s a big achievement. Now let’s make sure you’ve got the tools and support to thrive…
If you’re blind or partially sighted and need help using technology in the workplace, you’re in the right place. The Access to Work scheme could cover the cost of the tech you need — and just as importantly, the training to use it with confidence.
What is Access to Work?
Access to Work (AtW) is a UK government scheme that funds support for people with disabilities or health conditions, so they can flourish at work. That includes specialist equipment, software, hours of assistive technology training like the kind Dwellink provides.

At Dwellink, we don’t just teach assistive tech – we live it. Training is delivered by Alex Man, a senior accessibility adviser with over 10 years of experience in the field. He works in a mid-sized organisation and uses screen readers, magnifiers, and accessible software daily. That means you’re not getting outdated textbook guides – you’re learning real solutions that work in real jobs.
