Impact Pilots

Investing in diverse delivery for maximum impact 

Triage Impact is a series of pilot programmes, enabling us to test ‘what works’ for key priority groups needing additional support to access employment or progress to other positive destinations. 

Pilots enable us to be flexible and creative, outside the parameters of our contracted provision. Each pilot is carefully designed, monitored and evaluated, with participant feedback built in, enabling us to tweak the delivery model to meet individual needs. Each pilot aligns with the ambitions of the Government and devolved authorities to provide tailored interventions to support the achievement of an 80% employment target.

Priority groups

Through our industry knowledge and experience, we have identified key priority groups who may require more tailored and intensive support than is typically achieved by our contracted programmes. Examples include:

  • Young people not in employment, education or training
  • Jobseekers aged 50+
  • People with disabilities and long-term health conditions
  • Ex-offenders
  • People with caring responsibilities

Working in partnership

Partnership working is the perfect way of adding value to our impact pilots. 

We work with our partners to co-design delivery models, generate referrals, enhance participant outcomes, and share experiences of supporting people with additional barriers. 

Partnering with location-specific and/or specialist partners to deliver in areas such as mental health support, pre-employment training, confidence building and social skills, not only raises awareness of the support available in the local community, but it broadens the participant offer and helps us support more people. 

Each pilot generates real results:

Attendance rate 85% for weekly face-to-face and group sessions

 

Secured 100+ interviews for participants 

Increased uptake of opportunities such as training and volunteering

50%+ job outcomes over 12 weeks

Supported Employment

In 2023-24, we offered intensive support to people with learning difficulties, neurodiversity, mental ill health and/or long-term health conditions.

"Having someone make the recruitment process work for me so that the employer was aware of my health condition meant that they were more understanding."
