Empowerment as a mechanism for change

As a person-centred charity, Signpost is dedicated to helping individuals overcome challenges to securing meaningful employment. Personal challenges can include mental and physical issues, low self-esteem or self-worth, discrimination/bias, and social/cultural barriers. Practical challenges may include the lack of a tailored CV, gaining access to a PC or the internet, not being equipped with relevant skills, limited or no job searching/application support, and financial restrictions. These are just a few.

Our mission is to empower individuals to manage or overcome these obstacles. We offer services distinct from statutory providers, offering support in various forms, such as employability assistance, training, a warm space, social and digital deprivation support or simply providing a listening ear. Our non judgemental approach is designed to empower people, leading to more sustainable and fulfilling employment outcomes. The individuals we support appreciate this method, resulting in better job retention and increased self-worth.
