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.
A work placement can be invaluable to your employment journey. Read about one of our participants who's confidence in the work place was boosted as a result of a successful placement.
We'll never give up on you, and will continue to work with you, and support you throughout the ups and downs of your employment journey.
We pride ourselves on our resourcefulness and ability to adapt our service to suit the needs and requirements of our participants, this story encompasses just that.
