We’re a local employability programme who help people in Tyne and Wear who are unemployed and have a health barrier, disability, additional learning need or autism get into employment, training or volunteering.
If you live in Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, North Tyneside or South Tyneside you could be eligible for free one-to-one employment support. Get in touch with the team today by completing our online form or give us a call on 0191 217 3206.
Our team of experienced Navigators work with people on an individual basis to give them the bespoke support and advice they need in order to meet their personal employment-related goals. They’re supported and encouraged to access the help needed to address their physical or mental health issues, boosting self-esteem and allowing them to enter volunteering, job or training opportunities with increased confidence. Each participant journey is different, and we’re here to help in whatever way we can.
We’re a local programme funded by the European Social Fund and The National Lottery Community Fund. We’re led by Mental Health Concern and work closely with 8 other charity partners from across the North East to ensure our participants receive the best possible care and support. We’re passionate about what we do, we’re loyal to the region and will go above and beyond to improve the lives of those who need us.
We are proud to have a team of specialists within Moving On Tyne & Wear who can offer support tailored to people with autism or learning difficulties. We’ll listen and help people to outline their employment-related goals and provide guidance and expert advice in order to find the routes needed in order to achieve them. We have a proven track record in developing the interpersonal skills and confidence needed in order to move forward towards employment.
"It’s no exaggeration to say that Moving On Tyne & Wear have changed my life."
"After our first meeting it was clear we were going to get along really well, and she put her trust in me to help her"
"It wasn’t long before her new sense of motivation started her thinking about what else she could do to improve her confidence."
