This service supports * Pre-stage 1, 16–19-year-old school leavers or those within 6 months of leaving school who require intensive support to engage with employability service. Participants in the project are likely to have complex and multiple barriers, all of which prevent them from engaging in current provision.
The Project Worker will lead the provision of relationship-based support delivered to young people and families in the community, increase readiness for training and employment, and promote other positive outcomes in line with the values and principles of includem.
