In the East Riding, the Exploring Opportunities programme provides you with your own Work Recovery Coach who will work with you to understand any problems you face. Together we’ll find out how to overcome them so that you can get where you want to be, supported all the way.
Exploring Opportunities is the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF or the Fund) funded by UK Government. It is a central pillar of the ambitious Levelling Up agenda helping places right across the country deliver enhanced outcomes.
Managed by Humber Learning Consortium, Working for Health is proud to be one of the partners of Exploring Opportunities in the East Riding, specialising in employment for people with a mental health condition.
The project has a number of fundamental aims:
- Boost productivity, pay, jobs and living standards
- Spread opportunities and improve public services,
- Restore a sense of community, local pride and belonging
- Empower local leaders and communities
How Does Exploring Opportunities Work..?
Exploring Opportunities is based on a Keyworker Partner model.
