After graduating with a Licence pro collaborateur social et paie, Thomas joined the University’s accounting office in 2022.
Recognised as a disabled worker, he is no less ambitious than his colleagues. In 2023, he is making sure he has what he needs to succeed in the competitive examination for BOE (bénéficiaires de l’obligation d’emploi),supported by the university’s HR department.
I have no regrets about taking this competitive examination, which has enabled me to land the job that suits me perfectly
Thomas Framery
A job involving a wide range of activities
Working between the finance and HR departments, Thomas describes himself as the ‘hyphen’ in matters relating to working conditions. On a day-to-day basis, he manages the financial aspects of requests for workstation adjustments recommended by the occupational physician.
In specific terms, he ensures that quotations and orders are tracked in cooperation with the accounting office and sets up a database for the annual report. ‘Since taking up my post in October, I’ve already handled no fewer than 200 adjustment requests’, he explains.
For Thomas, this job requires a great deal of meticulousness andadaptability ‘You need to be able to adapt to deal with different types of adjustments, and pay close attention to the financial aspects of the applications’.
Day-to-day support
What reassures Thomas in his work is that the university doesn’t recruit disabled staff just to fill quotas.
‘Here, everything possible is done to support employees with disabilities’, he reveals.
In his case, Thomas points out that the university has enabled him to be monitored by an occupational therapist and to receive daily support from a care assistant to make sure his basic needs are met. My office has been fitted out and the chair I’m currently using was financed by the university’.
Thomas is delighted to be part of a caring team he can count on ‘It’s a nice department and my colleagues are friendly’, he says. For him, his experience at the university reflects the values of public service In every department I’ve come across, people are friendly and welcoming. This represents the values of the public sector’.
Although Thomas is aware of the challenges that disability presents for professional integration, he remains optimistic. ‘Nothing is impossible if you make sure you have what you need’, he concludes with a smile.
