How it works
Working with each customer we develop a tailored support plan, with daily/weekly meetings and assessments. The team work with customers to identify support needs, identify education, and training & employment opportunities and offer support with wider life skills such as Shopping on a Budget sessions, parenting, maintaining accommodation cleanliness and personal hygiene.
Customers will have your own support worker who will meet with them as required for support meetings tailor made to their needs.
There is a regular programme of social activities to develop customer involvement and build self-esteem such as healthy eating sessions, confidence & resilience and sexual health.

Positive Outcomes
The service provides customers with the skills or the support to live independently in the community. The service also helps customers identify move on accommodation, which may include supported housing within the community, via liaison with local housing associations and private landlords. Once these goals are achieved the service can offer access to three month follow up tenancy sustainment support.
