Career Advice

It is important that you know where to get the right career advice as you may need to be realistic about your career options. Those with rigorous fitness tests such as the armed forces or police may not be an option. However that is not to say that there is not the right job out there for you. Connexions direct are a really useful source of information offering advice on education choices and careers. They can be contacted on 0808 001 3219 or connexions-direct.com.

You may feel that your heart condition may make it difficult for you to find a job. The website www.direct.gov.uk  is a useful resource with information about disability employment advisers who can help you to find a job to suit you or help in practical ways to enable you to work.
