Our Services 

Employment 

We recognise the crucial role that employment can play in developing the identity of all young people in care.

We support our young people in seeking employment, help them to set goals for their own development and assist them in overcoming any skills deficiencies they may have.

Career Guidance and Work Experience are available.

Support 

The semi-independent unit is staffed in accordance with the needs of the resident group at any one time, but there will always be a minimum of one member of staff 24 hours per day 7 days a week.

They are encouraged to budget for all these requirements and are expected to learn to cook their own meals with the support of staff on duty at the time.

Education 

We strongly encourage and support young people to achieve their own positive goals for themselves in education training and employment.

Each young person will have a plan designed to meet his or her educational or vocational training needs.

Most importantly, we recognise that education and employment are crucial to young people's life chances.

Independence

Each young person is provided with an Independent Living Skills Workbook and associated training, utilising different approved assessments and intervention tools.

 

This takes place during normal day-to-day activities and breaks down the fear of formal learning which many young people experience.

Young people will be encouraged to develop their cooking skills and to use menus to develop a shopping list.
