Finding work

For more information, visit the Parkinson’s UK website (last updated November 2021).

There are different options you can consider, including full-time and part-time work.

Before deciding what you want to do, you may find it helpful to think about:

how your Parkinson’s symptoms affect you. Would doing simpler tasks be better? It might be possible for you to change roles or level of responsibility in your work
travel and mobility. How easy is it for you to travel to and from work? Think about whether you need to travel to other locations or offices
how many hours you feel you’re able to work
your finances, including any pensions and savings you have. Knowing where you stand financially alongside what you think is best for your health will help you decide what type of work is best for you
