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 not having a tailored CV, limited or no access to a PC or the internet, lacking relevant skills, limited or no job-search/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, including employability assistance, training, a warm space, support for social and digital deprivation, or simply 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.
