Our vision from 2019  was to develop trusted relationships with a network of social value invested employers across Teesside and North Yorkshire.

Only selecting candidates for our network when we feel they are stable, ready, and committed.

Our team do the things employers fear most. We find out the background, the tough stuff and answer these questions in advance.

Our aim is always to make the recruitment process as easy as possible for the employer and the candidate.

We provide initial  mentored support allowing us to remove any barriers to employment ensuring when we advocate our candidates, they have the best opportunity of succeeding.

Our support does not disappear, we continue to mentor each candidate post-employment for average of 6 months, sometimes longer.

Each day we are helping people acquire the correct right to work documents, opening bank accounts for wages to be paid into, providing work wear, interview clothing, budgeting advice, travel fares, fitness/nutrition advice and so it goes on…

All of the above ensures that when we select a candidate, they are stable and ready for paid employment.

It’s widely recognised that employment is the single most way to reduce re-offending and therefore, more victims of crime.

We have some of the country’s highest re-offending rates in our area.

In 2019 we decided enough is enough. So we set about developing relationships with employers that are looking for new talent pools, ways to improve lives and at the same time contribute to their community.

The response has been breathtakingly positive. Currently we are the only organisation that specifically operates this way in North Yorkshire or Teesside.
