Mencap's Job Squad: Meet Janis

“Don’t underestimate our skills and capabilities and the values we can bring to a workplace, just because we have a learning disability.”  Meet Janis. She's been a Customer Assistant at Tesco for 11 years thriving in a paid role. Now she’s part of Mencap’s Job Squad, helping show that people with a learning disability belong in every workplace. Janis says having a job has helped grow her confidence and independence. Do you see our potential? With the right support, more people with a learning disability can find meaningful paid work and thrive in their careers. Huge thanks to Tesco and BrandonTrust for supporting Janis on her journey 💜 Read Janis' story on our website. https://brnw.ch/21x3pOf #LearningDisabilityWeek2026 #DoYouSeeMe #JobSquad #LearningDisabilityWeek
