employment
Through supported employment we provide work opportunities for our residents. Apart from offering paid employment in our two furniture stores we employ a job coach who works on a one to one basis with our residents and staff. Through this level of support and by developing relationships with various agencies and businesses, we aim to transform the employment prospects of our residents for whom the prospects of work are at best nothing more than a dream.
Alongside this our training department work to develop the skills and qualifications of our residents, providing the opportuinity to become "job-ready".
With a living wage and an employment history, service users realise self sufficiency, increased confidence, entry into the labour market and opportunities for further development.
Recently we have developed a relationship with an organisation called Blue Sky:
Job Coach Rebecca Ezekiel writes: 
I am pleased to report that Trinity has developed a mutually beneficial partnership with Blue Sky Development and Regeneration, a local social enterprise working to get ex-offenders back into work. So far Alex Jacobs and Frank Hough from Blue Sky have worked with me to deliver a workshop and also provide two jobs for our residents! Part of the future plans include taking some of our residents on site to Blue Sky, and we will also be exploring the opportunities for qualifications and helping our residents set and achieve goals. Alex Jacobs said “Trinity is a remarkable organisation - like Blue Sky, Trinity takes a tailored and holistic approach to those they work with, thinking not just about someone's housing needs but also concentrating on other areas like employment. It makes sense for Blue Sky to work with Trinity because the stability and support that Trinity gives its residents means that they are often excellent candidates to enter into the training and employment opportunities Blue Sky can offer. Rebecca has been especially helpful and has introduced us to a number of residents, 2 of whom have gone on to become hard working and reliable Blue Sky employees.”
