Years Experience
If you’re deaf or hard of hearing, the idea of work can feel daunting.
We provide support services to deaf people looking for work in Yorkshire and companies who want to employ them. We’re proudly deaf-owned and deaf-led.
Whether you’re a deaf person, family member, or company looking to employ deaf people, we’ll help you feel clear about the support available and how to access it.
If you’re a company looking for deaf awareness training, we do that too, at your offices or ours.
Take a look at our services for deaf people and support for companies to find out more.
According to the RNID, there are 12 million people in the UK who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus. It’s the second most common disability in the UK according to the British Academy of Audiology.
In a market where finding the right people is tough, not accessing this large segment of the population could mean you’re overlooking the perfect person for the role.
Employing D/deaf people is another way that your company can increase diversity in the workplace.
People who are deaf and hard of hearing bring unique perspectives to the workplace. Making the extra accommodations needed so someone can thrive in your organisation can be supported, thanks to Access To Work funding from the Department of Work and Pensions. Check out our information on how support is funded.
12 million people in the UK are deaf or hard of hearing — you could be missing your ideal candidate.
Support for deaf employees can be fully funded through Access to Work, making inclusion easy and affordable.
We are a deaf-led company run by Rachel Lovell, who is deaf and a native British Sign Language user. Having years of experience in the workforce Rachel understands the challenges that D/deaf people face in their pursuit of their dream job.
We understand that spoken English is a deaf person’s second language – sign language is usually their first. We share deaf people’s unique perspective on the world and understand the challenges families face in trying to support loved ones.
As an employer, we also understand that companies need people who can do a great job. We provide BSL interpreters and communication support both internally and externally.
I have had the pleasure of working with Castle Communication for several years and have consistently found them to be an excellent agency to work with. Their communication is always clear, timely, and professional, which greatly contributes to an efficient and positive working relationship. Invoicing and payments are handled reliably and punctually, which reflects their strong organisational standards and respect for their freelancers. I would recommend them to other professionals in the field.
As an interpreter I have been working closely with castle communications from the beginning. From the start, they have always had a professional approach, for both the interpreter and the client. So much so I have, at times, recommended their services to people I meet and know. The feedback I have is very positive and they are very approachable. As an interpreter they provide good work and are very swift with replies to any queries I may have.
I have been working for Castle Communication Services for nearly 3 years now with various different clients. They are a really supportive company to work for, who are only at the end of a phone if needed, they add a personal touch to clients support and they are always happy to help if I’ve had any queries or issues.
