Where People Work
Having a valued role in society is part of what builds self-esteem. One of these roles can be a job or volunteer position.
Sunbeam has its own Job-coaches who specialise in Supported Employment in the local community.
Our Job-coaches aim is to enable People in SHS to Access mainstream employment within the Community. A Jobcoach is designated as a support to the service-user. The Jobcoach connects the person with the appropriate professional and natural supports; this enables the person to Achieve the best Possible Outcomes in his / her life. Once a level of comfort and familiarity is achieved in a job the Jobcoach pulls back support to a level that is agreed with both service-user and the employer.
