As individual human beings we are often defined by what job we do. Employment gives us self confidence and a feeling of being valued.

The Oaklea Trust helps individuals to find work. This can be either paid or voluntary work.

First steps include meeting with one of our Employment Advisers to discuss your individual circumstances. We aim to help you achieve your job goal and to develop within your role.

We have access to employers, from large national organisations to small sole traders, across a wide range of sectors.
We work with you and your potential employer to make the best use of your skills and abilities in the workplace.
