Crisis Employment Services
If you are homeless and would like to receive support in getting into work, we have some services that may be able to help.
You will be assigned a dedicated coach, who will provide motivational support and quality information, advice and guidance, to help you move into employment. You will also be able to attend training and group sessions to help with managing finances and budgeting, interview skills, and how to disclose criminal records to potential employers. Your coach will work with you to carry out regular financial assessments and "better off" calculations, to see how you are getting on.
Once you are in sustained work our housing coach may be able to help you move into your own home in the private rented sector. They can help you to identify affordable properties, and will accompany you to viewings to help you ensure that properties meet all the proper standards and are right for you.
