Description

West Berkshire Council currently have two supported employment contracts that provide job coaching services. One contract works with those aged 16-25, typically via the SEND team at the Council, and the other works with individuals over 26, typically via the Adult Social Care team. West Berkshire currently has a need for increased employment support for these groups as highlighted by data captured on the Public Health Outcomes Framework. In addition to this, West Berkshire currently has a higher than average employment gap for those with learning disabilities.The Council is currently exploring options internally regarding potentially merging both supported employment contracts to form one service. The purpose of this survey is to help us gain insight into the current market and what is feasible in terms of service delivery. It is anonymous and not scored in any way.The survey can be found here: https://eu.surveymonkey.com/r/Supported-employment-market-engagement
