Shaw Trust: South Essex

At Shaw Trust we believe everyone has the right to live a decent and dignified life and an opportunity for rewarding work. We are a social purpose organisation challenging inequality and breaking down barriers to enable social mobility.We empower people from childhood to career through our services embracing employability, education, learning and skills, children’s services and health and wellbeing support.Our co-created services include large scale employability programmes, specialist services for communities, residential care for children, targeted support for young people, on-the-job learning and training and individual guidance and support.

We work with individuals, who may have physical health needs of their own, including neurodiverse conditions, and mental health conditions or due to their circumstances may need some guidance. We work with individuals who are over 18, currently unemployed and would like to move back towards employment. These are individuals who would fall into the economically inactive demographic, which I was thinking could be some of the individuals you may be working with.

 We offer support with

• CVs, interview skills, job searching and applications.
• Access to our Employer Engagement Specialist and current vacancies within the local area.
• Health support interventions (incl managing anxiety/depressions, building confidence and self-esteem).
• Short courses to support with upskilling.
• Self-employment advice and guidance.
• Ongoing In-Work Support
