In-Work Support
Once a person is in a work placement we will support with the induction process and, if necessary, attend this with the individual. We will give extra support with initial training and ongoing support with any mandatory training.
We offer practical "in-work" support and ongoing support. We can work alongside the person and give systematic instructions/support until such times as they can do this for themselves. Only then will we reduce the "in-work" support but will continue to monitor, appraise and support the employee, employer and placement for its duration.
This "in-work" support will depend upon the individual. Some people may only need "in-work" support for a few hours, for some it could be a few days and others could need a few weeks.
