Homelessness Barriers
Many people who experience homelessness encounter barriers in their search for employment. These can include disability, long-term unemployment, limited work skills and experience, and critically, low confidence and a belief that people will not employ them because they have experienced homelessness.
WorkAbility helps to break down these barriers by:
- Breaking down fears of prejudice.
- Developing interests and career paths.
- Promoting integration with the local community.
- Supporting people to regain and develop work skills, confidence and motivation.
- Addressing long-term unemployment through work experience.
“It felt really good to be back in work and to realise that I can do this – I feel proud of myself and I’m looking forward to the future.”
– Margaret
