Education and Employment

Vocational courses are accessed at local colleges such as the opportunity to gain GCSE's or A Levels that they didn't have the opportunity to complete due to their current circumstances plus the opportunity to learn new skills.

John Munroe Hospital Group staff have worked very closely with Leek College, Staffordshire and have established very good networks to ensure improved access to education for our service users.

CV's are developed as part of this therapeutic employment process and useful strategies to approach employers successfully. Many of our service users have been successfully employed in local cafes, charity shops, supermarkets etc and this leads to a sense of accomplishment and improved wellbeing. Often this experience has greatly improved social networks for our service users as they have believed that they could not achieve such everyday accomplishments.
