Patchwork Hub

What Patchwork Hub does

Patchwork Hub is a UK-based, disabled-led social enterprise (Disability-Owned Business Enterprise, certified) founded in 2019 and headquartered in Covent Garden, London. It operates a dual-sided accessible employment marketplace that connects disabled, neurodivergent, and chronically ill job seekers with inclusive employers, anchored by a jobs board built to WCAG 2.2 Level AAA standards with multiple interface layouts (V1/V2/V3), high-contrast, dark mode, dyslexia-friendly settings, and adjustable font sizing. The platform integrates Stripe Connect for payment processing and supports social login via Facebook and Google.

The company monetises primarily on the employer side through a tiered pricing model: single-use job credits from £105-£140 + VAT, plus an Annual Premium Partnership at £7,200 + VAT per year that bundles unlimited job postings with training sessions, process reviews, and dedicated account management. Beyond the core jobs board, Patchwork Hub sells adjacent professional services under the MOKOM sub-brand, including disability inclusion and Mental Health First Aid training, bespoke consultancy (attraction, recruitment, retention, and built environment access assessments), end-to-end retained recruitment for ring-fenced roles, and bespoke speaking engagements. The go-to-market combines self-serve product-led growth for SMBs with sales-assisted enterprise motions targeting FTSE 100 employers and government bodies. Customers cited include BBC, Barclays, St. James's Place, Pictet, Sage, Aviva, Sony Music, Julius Baer, Macmillan Cancer Support, Department for Education, The Prince's Trust, and Paralympics GB, with the platform reporting 130+ active job postings and "hundreds" of participating employers. The company has backing relationships with Innovate UK, Google for Startups, UnLtd, Harvard Innovation Lab, and the University of Oxford, and operates a delivery partnership with the Change 100 internship programme alongside a network of 15+ disability-focused impact partners.

Direct peers

• Evenbreak: UK-based accessible job board specifically designed for disabled candidates, offering employer postings and accessibility-focused features. Directly competes with Patchwork Hub in the same niche with a similar dual-sided marketplace model.
• EmployAbility: Disability-focused employment and careers service operating internship and graduate programmes (including the Change 100-style offering). Overlaps with Patchwork Hub's recruitment and internship services for disabled students and graduates from leading universities.
• Ability Jobs: Specialist job board dedicated to disabled candidates in the UK. Competes for the same employer recruitment spend and candidate pool that Patchwork Hub targets.
• Disability Job Site (MyLBT): Disability-focused recruitment platform serving both candidates and inclusive employers in the UK market. Closely aligned model and audience to Patchwork Hub.

Broad incumbents

• LinkedIn: Largest professional network and job board globally, increasingly adding accessibility features. Competes with Patchwork Hub for employer recruitment spend but does not specialise in the disabled/neurodivergent candidate experience.
• Indeed: Mass-market job board with dominant UK market share. Competes for SMB employer recruitment budgets against Patchwork Hub's self-serve job credit product, though without specialist disability focus.
• Inclusive Companies: UK organisation providing disability inclusion training, consultancy, and accreditation (Inclusive Employers Standard). Overlaps with Patchwork Hub's MOKOM training and consultancy services for employer buyers.

Emerging players

• Recite Me: Accessibility software provider offering web accessibility tools including screen readers and translation. Adjacent ecosystem participant supporting employers' WCAG compliance that Patchwork Hub addresses via the job board itself.

Others

• Leonard Cheshire: Major UK disability charity supporting disabled people into employment. Functions as both a Patchwork Hub impact partner and as an ecosystem player offering disability employment services that overlap at the mission level.
• Scope: UK disability charity with employment-focused programmes and policy advocacy. While not a direct competitor on the job board product, it shapes employer attitudes toward disability hiring that affect Patchwork Hub's addressable market.
