Work and Health Programme
Through the Work and Health Programme we partner with Shaw Trust to offer support to long-term unemployed neurominorities in Leicestershire, Birmingham, Lincolnshire, Worcester/Herefordshire, Northampton/Bedford, Buckinghamshire, Black Country, Staffordshire/Shropshire, and West London.
We provide a screening call to identify cognitive strengths and development areas. Following this we can recommend either one-to-one coaching (currently delivered via phone or Zoom,) or attendance at our virtual Employable Genius course (also currently run on Zoom). Both forms of delivery involve strategy coaching around memory, concentration, time management, organisation, stress management, communication skills, interview techniques, job searching techniques, confidence building and using our neurodiverse strengths.
We also accept referrals on this project for Workplace Needs Assessments, which are for employed participants. This involves working an individual and their employer to identify what reasonable adjustments would help the participant in being able to work at their best.
To access the Work and Health Programme contact the advisor at your local Job Centre Plus or you can call and leave a message for our team on 01273 890 406
“Having something everyday has really helped me. Looking at stress management is something I needed to look but hadn’t and so moving forward I am trying to be more positive and be open to sharing my problem so I can get the support that I need. I now know asking for help is a strength.”
