THE BEACON WORKS WAY

Lighting the way to a more inclusive workplace in Scotland and throughout the UK

Turning workplace barriers into breakthroughs with expert workplace assessments, neurodiversity coaching, and assistive technology solutions.

SPEAK TO OUR TEAM

SUPPORT THAT’S BUILT AROUND YOU

Who we are

For over 12 years, Beacon has been a steady point of reference in Scotland’s disability and workplace support landscape. A small, family-run team supported by a trusted network of specialist assessors, trainers, and coaches.

We combine high-level expertise in workplace ergonomics, sensory and physical health, neurodiversity, and assistive technology with a personalised, non-judgemental approach.

Every assessment, coaching session and recommendation is shaped around the individual — their strengths, their environment, and the way they learn best.

WORKPLACES THAT WORK

Why it matters

Unmet needs within the workplace can extend the time it takes for a new employee to reach their full potential, or lead to employees underperforming.

Both outcomes limit an employee’s ability to contribute at their best. In the longer term, failure to make reasonable adjustments can lead to:

  • Increased risk of litigation
  • Increased risk that the employee will leave.
  • Disciplinary or performance monitoring measures

ADDING VALUE TO YOUR TEAM

By putting the right support in place early, Beacon helps employers

Reduce the level of intensive support and training required over time.

Deliver training in a way that matches the individual’s learning needs, so they get more from it.

Help the employee become a valued, contributing member of the team who can be the best version of themselves.

DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT

What our clients say

Emily was a wonderful coach, really empathetic and knowledge about the subjects. We worked together to find areas which I wanted to work on and she was able to adapt to my way of learning. I learned so much from her and I really wish my sessions could continue! She is really organised, knowledgeable and put work into each of the different topics for my sessions.

What I really valued was having the space to discuss my difficulties with someone that understood them from lived experience, who was able to offer practical steps to address some of these difficulties.

The coaching relationship was a brilliant stepping stone in accepting help from others, understanding that these working relationships can be safe and trustworthy, giving me the tools to trust and have confidence in the people I know work with.

Ali allowed me to work out what I needed through the process of dialogue. Her very relaxed style, engaged manner, and kind disposition worked well for me.

Michelle was amazing. If I would ever recommend a coach to someone, I would choose her, no doubt.

I found having a space to freely discuss my problems at work without fear of repercussions very useful, it helped me actually discuss things properly and come to conclusions about how to make my working life easier.

Gilda is amazing! I learned that I'm not alone and the hand out on strategies really help back up our conversations as I do forget. It was good to be able to go over it in my time.

Rosie was so warm and genuine and made it really easy for me to open up. I never felt pressured, just encouraged and supported and I found myself making a lot of progress in a short time because of this.

The best thing about my coaching was gaining a greater understanding of myself and encouragement to come up with my own solutions to the challenges I face rather than being told what to do.

Sarah was excellent, she was pretty intuitive and had such a way of getting to the bottom of things which enabled us to view and address matters differently.

I found it useful to discover that I wasn't alone in struggling with certain things at work. For years I felt very alone and thought that there was something wrong with the way my mind works. It was also useful to learn more about why my brain works a certain way and about how I can utilise my strengths at work. I feel like I am better able to embrace my differences now.

I found coaching to be incredibly useful. Sue was incredible at explaining how different approaches could be applied to certain issues I was having and how to work on setting myself up for success.
