Employment support

BECAUSE WE ALL DESERVE A SECURE FUTURE

Accessing employment and skills support is essential in helping people on their personal journey towards a more independent and fulfilled life. This support can act as a catalyst and have a very positive impact on someone’s circumstances or situation.

What we do

Our aim is to give everyone the opportunity to live independently and to have access to employment, irrespective of their support needs or any barriers they may face.

We offer a wide range of activities that put the individual at the heart of our support approach and give them choice and control over their own future, and a route to independence.

Attending skills sessions, becoming a volunteer or being in paid employment can be an essential part of the recovery and resettlement journey. Positive benefits include:

  • A level of stability and structure; a routine
  • A sense of purpose, focus and direction
  • An opportunity to build relationships and social networks
  • A feeling of positivity, improved confidence and self-esteem
  • A sense of drive and motivation
  • Improved health and wellbeing.

 

Framework Volunteer

Employment

Paid work has many social and economic benefits and is also known to aid recovery and resettlement.

Our New Path to Employment service supports Nottingham Recovery Network clients to find and maintain employment that is suitable for them.

Skills Plus

Skills Plus aims to equip homeless and disadvantaged people with the skills to move on confidently from a supported living environment towards a happy and independent lifestyle that is right for them.

Every package of support is carefully curated to meet the diverse needs of each individual or group we support.

Digital inclusion

We make sure that the people we support are not digitally excluded.  We help them access IT equipment and develop the skills needed to build a rewarding and independent future. We recycle donated computer and phone equipment, provide internet access and train individuals in the practical IT skills required for everyday life.

Volunteering

Volunteering provides individuals with invaluable work experience and high quality training in order to develop new skills.

It also gives them an opportunity to make a positive difference to people’s lives, as well as moving towards employment and independence.
