Each young person will be supported and allocated a keyworker. Key Workers will promote independence, support and wellbeing as well as considering the young person’s views and opinions, allowing them to lead with their decision, providing it is in the interests of the young person. Key Workers will be able to accomplish the following and more not listed with young people:
  • Access education/Leisure and Community activities
  • Support with hygiene
  • Budgeting skills
  • Registering with doctors and dentist
  • Cooking skills
  • Gang culture awareness
  • Sexual health, drug awareness and legal responsibility awareness
  • Immigration support
  • Independent cleaning
  • health and safety awareness
  • Supporting the young person in meetings
  • Cultural awareness, such as accompanying the young person shopping so that they can purchase traditional foods held dear to their cultural identity
At JenKin Support Services, we discuss the goals of each young person and actively engage them in career interest and leisure planning. We make links with education, training and employment agencies to secure the services and support to help residents overcome barriers to learning and the achievement of set goals.

This is by working closely with the local Community workers, Colleges, and training courses to assist this process. Key Workers are able to accomplish the following and more not listed with young people. We provide direct, intensive support to young people and their families where there is a high risk of family breakdown. 
Typically, families are referred for 4-12 weeks to benefit from the following:
  • Our prompt, intensive, persistent and flexible approach, based on listening to the views of the young person and their family and building on their strengths.
  • Support and strategies to help young people cope with their situation and improve their confidence and self-awareness.
  • Support to parents and/or carers to manage challenging behaviours and improve family relationships.
  • Planned, proven techniques based on professional standards of support
