Mencap's Job Squad: Meet Arjhay

“Having a learning disability does not define who you are. It makes you more resilient." Meet Arjhay. He says having a paid job has helped him grow in confidence and independence. After completing his supported internship through Mencap at Boots and Chopstix, Arjhay secured a paid role and is now now working as a front of house server at Chopstix. Arjhay is part of Mencap's Job Squad, showing that people with a learning disability have the skills, talent and ambition to succeed at work when given the opportunity. Thank you to Chopstix for helping create opportunities for people with a learning disability. Read Arjhay's story on our website. #LearningDisabilityWeek2026 #DoYouSeeMe #JobSquad
