First Routes
Supporting individuals to seek employment through personalised one to one support
We recognise that many individuals may struggle to access mainstream programmes or may not be able to find specialist support in local areas, therefore we have opened up our pre employment support to the whole of the UK.
Our First Routes programme offers personalised one to one support to help individuals identify and overcome barriers on their journey towards employment.
We can offer support face to face in our Sheffield office or online via video calls to suit the needs of the individual.
Support is typically for around 1 hour per week, but this can be flexible depending on the individual.
If you have access to a direct payment via social care or have the ability to self fund support then get in touch to find out more.
We offer a free initial appointment to understand your needs and explain more about the support we can provide.
