Description

North Somerset Council is looking for a suitably qualified provider to deliver a Pathways to Adulthood Service and short breaks to young adults aged 14-25 years with multiple or profound disabilities, Special Educational Needs (SEND) and/or complex needs, which is a much-needed resource utilised by both Adults and Children's Directorate (the Location, Pizey Avenue in Clevedon, North Somerset). The service focuses on delivering outcomes which support individuals in reaching their optimum independence and improve the readiness for transition into the most appropriate and cost-effective forms of support as adults.

This is the only service that provides dedicated short breaks and pathways to independence in the North Somerset area. It is of critical importance to the young people who attend and their families, and in the delivery of statutory functions. Contract term is 48 months with an optional extension of 36 months.
