LAES SUPPORTS

1. SUPPORTING YOU TO FIND A SUITABLE, SUSTAINABLE FULL-TIME JOB THROUGH:

  • Working with you on an individual basis over a period of 12 months.
  • Agreeing a personal progression plan (PPP) with you (a set of agreed tasks and actions to help you get full time employment).
  • Identifying training and upskilling opportunities that will enhance your chances of finding employment; and
  • Putting you in touch with employers who have vacancies and positions that are the right 'fit' to your skill set.

2. FULLY ACCESSIBLE EMPLOYMENT SERVICES INCLUDING OUTREACH OFFICE

  • Your nearest centre will be a normal journey time of no more than 60 minutes driving or by public transport.
  • Our opening hours are 9am–5pm (Monday to Friday). We also offer flexible support outside of these times.
  • In our centres, you will have access to IT facilities for job searching. We will provide any necessary training to help you use these facilities effectively.

3. DEDICATED SUPPORT FROM YOUR INDIVIDUAL EXPERT CASE OFFICER

Throughout the programme, you will receive dedicated support from your individual expert Caseworker.

Your case officer will work with you through our core range to support you in understanding the local job market and identify the most suitable roles.  We are here to support you as much as you need throughout the programme and will invite you to attend once a month to speak to your Case Officer.  We look forward to meeting you!

CLIENT BENEFITS

You will benefit from:

  • Contact name, email and telephone number of your assigned case officer.
  • A one-to-one, face-to-face meeting with your caseworker within 15 working days of your referral.
  • An initial assessment, where you will complete a guided self-assessment questionnaire. Your answers will help us get to know you and enable us to support you more effectively.
  • Creating a Personal Progression Plan (PPP) with your caseworker, who will assess your skills, experience, needs and work goals. Your PPP will be based on your unique support needs and employment goals, as well as the outcomes from your guided self-assessment questionnaire, which will include a schedule of job-focused targets.
  • Formal reviews meetings with your caseworkers (every 12 weeks). Reviews will enable us to work with you to update the PPP as your support needs and circumstances change.
