How can I be referred to Supported Employment West Sussex?
We aim to meet a range of support needs and complexities, so to support this and enable truly person-centred approaches, different levels (‘Tiers’) of support are available. For general advice and information about services that may be available for you, please contact us by phone or email, or speak to one of our specialist team members at our offices or community ‘drop ins’. From there, we will work with you to explore next steps, which may include a short programme of support to progress into work and/or support to access longer term support. For some, a referral form from West Sussex County Council’s Life-Long Services Team will be required, however in all cases, please do get in touch with us as the first step to finding or maintaining a job.
After Covid-19 restrictions have lessened, we will be rolling out a series of ‘Drop In’ locations across West Sussex to offer anyone with a Lifelong Disability signposting support. Details will be shared when we are able to resume this strand of our service. Until then, we are offering a remote service where anyone with a Lifelong Disability needing employment help or advice can email us on workaid@aldingbourne.org with their preferred contact details and a member of the team will contact them to help.
