Since 2019 we have developed trusted relationships with a network of social value invested employers across Teesside and North Yorkshire to advocate our work ready candidates.We only link our candidates to employers then we are confident, they are ready for employment, have passed our internal ssessments and have a strong desire to be an employed contributing member of society.

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 with the correct right to work ID, opening bank accounts for wages to be paid into, providing work wear, interview clothing, food parcels, budgeting advice, travel fares, improve housing situations, fitness and nutrition assistance and so it goes on… The ultimate aim always is paid employment.

It’s widely recognised that employment is the single most way to reduce re-offending, and more victims of crime. We are a charity on a mission, the need in our region is huge. We have some of the UK’s highest re-offending rates. We have some fantastic employers out there that are looking for ways to improve lives and contribute to their community. Oh and…there is no other agency that specifically does this focused work across Teesside and North Yorkshire.
