I don't know of any agencies that deal specifically with helping transsexual or transgendered people into employment, but, if you are in the UK this link provides some useful information:

Also, The Gender Trust has information about transitioning at work:

Good luck.

A number of the larger companies have specific rules in place, right now, concerning hiring and employment discrimination against TS individuals. Honeywell, Microsoft, and many others. Find out which companies these are. They are a good place to start. Transitioning can be a very difficult time, in general. Getting a job during this time can only be much more difficult. I wish you luck.

Have you tried discussing your situation with your boss? I doubt you can get fired for undergoing MTF transition and you might be able to move Departments or something to make the transition easier.

i work for a very understanding boss who totally understands what transition is.....after all she is going thru it herself. she had better be, i am self employed!!!
but seriously, there are very many companies out there that are TG/TS friendly. just let them know up from about the transition.
