Our criteria-based service for those who need help finding employment, with one-to-one guidance.

Unemployment, and job-searching, are difficult times, especially when one has not been able to work for an extended period. We might not know what to do, or what to look for, and caring for our own physical and mental health during that process is already a struggle. We want to give people the knowledge, skills, and confidence to effectively search for work on their own. Through one-to-one discussions, we understand a person's needs and interests, focus on what can be done, set realistic goals, and provide help with CV writing, job searches, effective interview techniques, and more. Our employability services, Rise2Thrive and Trailblazer, are intended for two types of people:

a) Economically-inactive people, who have not been in work for a while or sought work, and are now ready once again to start looking for suitable employment or volunteer work.
b) People who are currently working, but either need additional hours with a secondary job, or a career change due to impacts on physical or mental health.

This is a free, self-referral service. The duration and number of sessions will vary depending on individual needs; we offer both short-term help (such as CV-writing and nothing else), and long-term help (all 1:1 support) that may extend over several months as fortnightly sessions. Skills training and wellbeing activities are also available through us, and through partner organisations, for which certificates are provided once training is complete. For more information, or to sign-up, please contact our Employability Worker (whose e-mail address is at the top of this page), or contact our main office.
