What we can do to help Helpful resources Who we work with External resources We know how difficult life can be without work. And we know it's not all about money - work can be good for your mental health, your sense of self and your overall confidence. That's why we recognise that everyone is at a different stage of their employment journey, and tailor our work to what you need from us. Whether you're ready to jump straight into job applications or finding training, or need a hand reviewing your skills and working out what feels right for you, we can help. Confidence and self-esteem We know that many people feel anxious about getting into work or volunteering. If you've had a setback or change in circumstances it can have a real impact on your confidence, but we can support you with whatever your next steps look like. We can start with looking at skills and training, and then when you’re ready we will help you to find opportunities to work or volunteer in your local community, develop networks in your area and find the confidence to take the next steps. Volunteering Volunteering can be a great first step into a new career, and can often fit around other commitments like family life, education and other caring responsibilities. We work closely with local organisations that help us find suitable volunteering placements for customers across our communities - whatever your interest is. Work experience The next step for you may be trying out different job opportunities. For example, if you wanted to become an electrician, we offer work placements in our own repairs team. If you wanted to become a teaching assistant, we have links with local schools in our community so can help to find a placement for you. Applications Ready to apply for a job, placement or training course? We're right alongside you, whether you need an extra pair of eyes to review your CV or need some hints and tips on answering competency-based questions. We also have a suite of guides that can help you - just check out our 'helpful resources' section. Apprenticeships An apprenticeship is a real job with training, so you can earn while you learn and pick up a nationally recognised qualification as you go. We work with Access Training, our further education provider, to deliver apprenticeships as well as providing our own. Check out our careers site for opportunities. Learning and development Training can unlock your future – and we can support and guide you to the right course for you. Working with Access Training, Jobcentre Plus and a variety of different local training providers in our communities, we can plug you into the right support. In 2019-20, we helped to organise 60 job interviews for people and this resulted in 28 job offers!
