Stepwell has opened an employment support programme for unemployed Inverclyde residents whose health, wellbeing or disability challenges are blocking a return to work.
The scheme combines one-to-one coaching, confidence building, wellbeing support including physiotherapy, accredited training and work placements aimed at moving participants into jobs.
Eligibility covers Inverclyde residents aged 18 to 60 who are unemployed and want help overcoming barriers to employment.
Participant testimonials cited improved confidence, social skills and quality of life, with some reporting they had already secured jobs after completing support.
Inverclyde Council is funding the programme, which Stepwell says is designed to help residents recognize strengths, improve wellbeing and prepare for work.
