EVERYYOUTH EMPLOYED
Securing your first job can feel impossible for anyone. Disrupted education, mental health challenges, and acute financial pressures can make it even harder. Unfortunately the mainstream help available is not flexible or patient enough for our young people.
That’s why we launched EveryYouth Employed, providing young people facing homelessness with specialist coaches to become job-ready and a bursary scheme to overcome the costs associated with getting into work or education.
Whether a young person needs help with course fees or the bus fare to a job interview, we make sure small financial barriers don’t prevent young people from securing long-term independence.
Whatever their stage on the journey to employability – whether learning to read and write or preparing for an interview – our objective is to help them take meaningful steps towards long-term employment, so they can live independent, happy lives.

“My employment and skills worker helped me apply for a ‘Step Up to Social Work’ course and a learning disability nursing course at the same university. Thanks to EveryYouth Employed, my UCAS fees were covered and I got a laptop.”
