ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT (EMPLOYABILITY TEAM)
Cork Simon Community’s Social Integration and Participation Service
is an essential part of Cork Simon’s holistic supports package for
people who are homeless and exiting homelessness in Cork City. We work
with people who have been though major life challenges and trauma,
supporting them to overcome barriers to education, work and exclusion.
The service provides a sustainable route out of homelessness and
empowers people to return to work and live in local communities.
Support, which is trauma informed, is delivered using an empowerment
model and a strengths-based approach. People are offered individually
tailored supports to access or re-enter education and training, take
up personal development opportunities and build independent living
skills. The service offers job coaching supports, job search and
interview skills. People are supported to access work experience and
employment opportunities through a network of employers in Cork City
and County. Once on placement or in employment, the person and the
employers are supported during the settling-in period. These suite of
supports aim to help people build self-confidence and resilience, and
overcome complex life challenges, equipping people to move out of
homelessness and maintain permanent and sustainable independent or
supported housing.
