Supported employment

If your young person has left education, is an adult and is ready to work but needs support to secure and retain paid employment, this may be an option for them. Supported employment is overseen by the British Association for Supported Employment (BASE).

Through supported employment they will receive:

support to identify their aspirations, learning needs, skills, experiences, and job preferences (with carers and support workers involvement)
support with practical job finding and job carving to ensure it suits their needs
an induction in the workplace and ongoing training as well as out of work support if needed
a development plan to record their goals
support with career development beyond the programme
