Job Introduction Scheme

The Job Introduction Scheme (JIS) helps disabled people by offering a financial incentive to employers. It could help pay your wages or other employment costs for a certain period-usually the first 6 weeks of your new job.

To qualify for the Job Introduction Scheme:

• the job must last for at least 26 weeks (including the JIS period), although it can be full or part time, and
• you must apply for JIS before you start the job.

There may be certain circumstances that do not fit the conditions to qualify for JIS, so contact Jobcentre Plus for more information.
