Finding a job for a deaf person

[Southern]

I am currently trying to help a profoundly deaf relative who relies on sign language, find a job. They have a university degree and ideally would want a job in admin or accountancy.

So far, she has been very unsuccessful for several years despite getting specialist employment/job search support.

I feel for her greatly, as almost any job relies heavily on verbal communication.

Anyone who has helped a deaf person in employment? Thanks

I know 100% that the Amazon warehouse near the airport have many deaf employees. I would therefore assume they would be open to hiring deaf employees in the other areas of the business, admin, accountancy etc. Maybe drop them a line.

Data analyst type jobs might be worth looking into. Try the MOD.
