Walsall Bridges - UK-SPF

We are now pleased to be able to say that our services have extended into Walsall to deliver the UK-SPF Bridges with Steps to Work and other partners.

JST's Jo, offers and provides a package of bespoke both 1-1 and group activities working with partner agencies to ensure that people in Walsall aged 16+ are given the greatest opportunity to increase their life chances and achieve their potential.

JST has significant experience of supporting people with a range of inspirational engagement and support with a dedicated team who consistently go the “extra mile” for people many who have fallen through societies gaps.

JST see every person as unique & treat everyone with the dignity and respect that they deserve. We make every meeting count and engender confidence and trust in people quickly.

 

JST believes that it is imperative to look at everyone on their own merits and meet them at whatever stage of development they are currently at, in order to ensure the building blocks are in place to develop and create a personal progressive and mutually agreed assessment plan which meets the individual's requirements and empowers them to fulfil their objectives. This might be from well-being, health, community connections and training and employment.

JST has 10+ years’ experience of supporting people through a range of inspirational support and an unrivalled staff team that consistently go the “extra mile” for people in communities who have often felt ignored, pushed out and alone in society.
