Employability Support for Parents
Thriving Communities take a whole family approach for parents and carers who require support getting back into work or for those on low incomes to upskill or retrain in order to secure and sustain fair work to ensure that households are better off when in work.
Through our Employability Pipeline Support parents are provided with one-to-one support and guidance from a Thriving Communities Officer.
In addition, a local approach is taken to help develop aspirational opportunities for work with a plan tailored to meet the needs of the individual and training identified from there. Support is also provided to access services or agencies to help overcome other challenges that need addressed in order to progress to or sustain work.
Evolve
The Evolve Programme offers 6months paid employment within the local authority or with 3rd sector organisations (subject to funding), giving them the experience of fair and flexible employment and enhancing the prospects of permanent employment to suit their individual needs around parental responsibilities. Thriving Communities work with SAC departments and the 3rd sector interface (TSI) to identify appropriate employment opportunities.
