Employment
Unemployment and homelessness
Lack of work is a major cause and consequence of homelessness. Having a job brings self respect and independence.
Unemployment is rising with the recession but many of the people we work with have been out of the labour market for some years so need specialist help
Our solutions
Within our Crisis Skylight centres, we have a dedicated employment team, Crisis Employment Services, which help people to prepare for, to find and keep jobs. We also work in partnership with a range of organisations including employers, training providers, colleges and other homeless organisations, matching people to appropriate opportunities and jobs.
Our Crisis Skylight Cafés provide real on the job training and experience. These are social enterprises that offer accredited training in a busy commercial environment.
