TAP is a recruitment agency focused on delivering bespoke, tailored solutions that work for both professionals and businesses. Through our unique internal staffing model, which leverages the talents and life-experience of those living with disabilities, we offer a market leading recruitment model that delivers above expectations every single time. We find the best candidate for each role. Our consultants are highly-skilled and adept at spotting potential and unearthing talent.
Why TAP wants to be a part of ‘Be the Difference’
A lot of people with the best of intentions still look at disability as if it’s a problem that needs to be fixed rather than looking at the issues within their organisations and giving people opportunities. It’s no secret that this is a huge issue. The disability gap in the UK proves that our workplaces’ are failing to accurately represent the community. We want to change this. Being the UK’s first disability-led recruitment consultancy, we hope to inspire others to follow in our footsteps and ‘Be the Difference’ our society needs to become truly inclusive.
All of our consultants have overcome barriers to do incredible things in the worlds of sport, industry, community and education. This gives us a unique perspective on success and helps us source the very best talent for organisations across the UK.
Headed up by former Paralympic swimming champion Liz Johnson and staffed exclusively by people with impairments, TAP is a ‘for-profit’ business, not a charity, and works with some of the UK’s most sought after employer brands.
Our consulting team all live with the realities of ‘disability’ but have chosen to be defined by what they ‘can do’, amassing an impressive array of accolades in the worlds of sport, industry, community and education.
This unique perspective means we see talent that others miss. After all, we’ve built careers by defying expectation.
The Ability People are competitive, highly motivated and know that how something is achieved is as important as the achievement itself. That’s why our accomplishments define us, not our limitations.

4) NextGen
NextGen is a unique area for us as it is our only team exclusively dedicated to supporting people with disability or impairment. NextGen reflects our core values and commitment to a community whose talent society has not yet recognised.
Personal experience means we know that those most impacted by bias are the ones leaving university, college or school and embarking on a career. Getting started is hard enough for the non-disabled but for those with disabilities it can be prohibitive, unnecessarily intimidating and incredibly frustrating. As a result, those with disabilities are being under-represented in a range of professions and this creates a much wider problem in society.
The NextGen team will help employers become truly more inclusive as well as working with those with disabilities as they begin their professional lives.
