Departments: HousingNottinghamshire YMCA offers various types of accommodation in the City and County, with provision for 86 residents at our city site and for 28 residents in Mansfield. All accommodation is supported housing to assist residents in gaining the skills to maintain independent tenancies. Each housing project is tailored to its community's needs and we strive to ensure that each aspect of each project is a high quality provision. As a Registered Social Landlord, we act in accordance with the Housing Corporation, and other required statutory bodies to ensure that our accommodation is as safe and secure as possible. Those residents who receive support from us are assessed by trained staff, who then formulate plans (in complete consultation and agreement with the resident) to help offer training and support in the relevant areas. Training and EmploymentThe Training and Employment section of the YMCA aims to encourage individuals to explore their options of getting back into training, with the end result being getting back into employment. We offer advice, help and support, assisting our clients with a range of needs, such as Job searching, interview coaching, cv writing and sign posting to external specialised services across the city. Our targets are measured on a quarterly basis, we are anticipate to achieve 4 residents into employment per quarter, 3 residents to work in voluntary positions and 28 resident to go onto accredited courses whilst at the YMCA. We have recently recruited an additional member to the team, this persons role is to primarily deliver workshops, helping clients develop their life skills, for example budgeting, cooking, IT, English and maths. We endeavour to make many of the workshops client led, to ensure that we address the need of out service users.
