In Work Support / Aftercare
Once individuals move into employment, education, or training, we offer ongoing support to help them settle in and maintain progress. This may include advice on benefits, housing, or adjusting to new circumstances, as well as guidance if someone needs to look for new employment.
Our employability services are voluntary, and individuals can reconnect with us at any time should they need further support. We aim to provide stability and confidence as people continue working towards long-term success.
