Welcome to the team Jack and a huge thanks to Jordan EmployAble.org.uk. Excited by our growing partnership.

🚨 NEW STARTER ALERT!

Congratulations to Jack, who has just secured a position as an Oliver McGowan Lived Experience Co-Trainer with Unique Training Solutions (UTS).

The role marks a huge milestone in Jack’s journey with EmployAble and is part of our growing partnership with UTS to create meaningful employment opportunities in the training sector for people with lived experience of a learning disability.

Jordan Mandell, EmployAble Employment Consultant, said: "In the year and a half that I've known Jack, it has been incredible to watch him develop and really grow in confidence, especially over the last few weeks."

Jack’s dad told us: "I want to thank Jordan and everyone at EmployAble for their continued perseverance and support for Jack. He was absolutely delighted to get this job and his demeanour has completely changed, with a huge boost in his confidence levels.”

We are so proud of you, Jack, and look forward to seeing you make a real difference in this important role.

Thank you Persona Care and Support for the recognition and support. We have consistently valued our training partnership.

April is Autism Acceptance Month but we're always asking ourselves:
What do we want to do to support autistic people in Bury and how can we do this to the best of our ability?
When we say we enable support that makes a positive difference - what does it mean in real life?

For us, it's ensuring everyone we support and work with feels
- informed
- safe
- empowered

To make it easier for everyone to get involved, learn and achieve their goals, we've been supporting our caring colleagues and those who support them with the tools they need to be aware of different people's needs and feel confident to make reasonable adjustments, whatever they may be.

That includes training in:
- Oliver McGowan Training
- Training in Systematic Instruction (TSI training)
- Intensive Interaction training
and wherever we can, we're learning from trainers with lived experience who are paid for their time and expertise.

It’s not only people we support who will benefit from this; our colleagues will too. When we understand people's strengths and needs better, everyone benefits: people with autism, learning disabilities and other neurodivergences or additional needs, whether they have a diagnosis or not.

Thank you to these people for making our learning possible:
