Work/Vocational opportunities

We can provide support for people who want to work to find a work placement, and provide support for people who have already found work that they enjoy. This support can include interview skills, job skills and social skills training.

For some people who may find going out to work difficult we have small staffed resource centres and workshops that provide vocational opportunities.

 

Work / skill training is provided in our woodwork department, canteen, office department and shop front. People who use our services gain work experience and hold jobs through providing gardening services, conservation work and through outside employers.

Education and Leisure/Therapeutic opportunities

We can provide support for individuals who are at college or university. We also provide on-going training for those who wish to continue their skills training or education from our staffed resource centres. We are registered with ASDAN to provide pre NVQ courses on site. People in our centres also have access to local colleges.
