CLARITY Employees

CLARITY currently employ 45 staff on the factory floor, ranging in mental and physical disability. The factory is open from 8.30 to 4.30 Monday to Thursday and from 8.30 to 12.30 on a Friday. 

Whilst CLARITY is a stepping stone, providing transferrable skills for open employment, there is a great community atmosphere in the factory. All staff enjoy the same priviledges and are treated as full time employees, as with any other company. The factory is extremely modern and perhaps the only modification is that we facilitate manual labour jobs where other factories may invest in machines.

Due to visual impairments of many employees, we ensure that the factory is clutter-free, which is surely a great discipline in any factory. Training in a modern factory doesn't mean that employees are limited to graduating to other factories in open employment; the staff here learn a wide variety of transferrable skills and office-based workshops such as switchboard training, help to boost confidence.

There is a social/canteen room where people meet at breaks/lunch. There is a strong and popular social group at CLARITY and a weekly raffle is usually held to raise funds for annual group trips, such as this year's outings to Brighton and the West End theatre.
