AssistiV Ireland is a social enterprise.

This means we work to help people.

We do not work to make money for owners.

Our office is in Cork City.

Talk to your job coach or support worker.

Or talk to your employer.

An employer is the place you work.

Most of the time, you do not pay for AssistiV.

Money from the government can pay for it.

You can ask a family member or supporter to help you contact us.
