Next Steps

Next steps workers are specialist one to one support workers who can help you achieve your goals. They will work with you on a one to one basis and can work with you at home, in the community or in our drop-in centres.

Next Steps workers can support Young Carers, Care Leavers and young people leaving Youth Offending Institutions to make successful transitions, overcome barriers and realise their potential. They will support you by identifying what your needs are and together make a plan to achieve these.

Next Steps workers can support you to make decisions about your life around where you want to live, whether you would like to go into education, employment or training, supporting you to access benefits and managing your money and other issues affecting you. Next Steps workers aim to increase knowledge of rights, options and services available to young people who are facing a time of transition.
