What we’re doing

We provide employment coaching support for Turning Point, a social enterprise that provides health and social care services to people who are affected by drugs and alcohol.

Employment coaching helps service users to access volunteering, education, training and employment opportunities.

We work alongside the Turning Point team to make a real difference to service users lives by developing personal, flexible and realistic support packages that individuals need to help turn things around.

Tailored action plans are created following the referrals we receive from the Turning Point team. We concentrate on promoting independence, regaining and building on social skills, promoting health and well-being and enabling individuals to achieve positive outcomes around securing voluntary opportunities, educational progression and paid employment.
