Supported Employment

The Supported Employment programme is a targeted programme for people who have additional support needs. Our team are specialised in supporting people of all ages, including parents.

Our dedicated Supported Employment team work with participants on a one-to-one basis, developing tailored programmes to meet individual needs. The programme helps participants to gain confidence, resilience, and determination to move into employment or further education, or to improve on their current employment situation.

Supported Employment - Tailored job programme

Since 2019, to enhance the Supported Employment programme, we have created a range of tailored, part-time jobs. These jobs have been specifically created for people participating in the programme who are ready to progress into the world of work.

Our team work with colleagues across the council to create job opportunities specifically designed to suit each individual person's circumstances. The jobs are designed around the skills, interests, and capabilities of the person, who is supported throughout by a dedicated Thriving Communities Officer.
