Description

We recognise that we have a number of work related day opportunities where service users learn skills for employment and will be supported to become work ready with skills such as time keeping and a sound work ethos, however the County Council does not commission these (or other) providers of these work opportunities to support service users further on their journey, a key part of the support required would be covered by a 'job coach'. We also recognise we have a number of young people who attend college to continue their education who will require support when they finish to gain employment/work.?
We are looking for a solution that will support service users to:
•Complete a Vocational Profile and identify a pathway
•Create a personalised CV
•Undertake travel and interview skills coaching
•Access further education (if needed)
•Complete/submit applications; including online (where applicable)
•Support with readiness for interviews
•Receive information regarding benefits/income and budgeting
•Receive in-work support (where applicable)
