Getting jobs and keeping them can be a huge issue for people overcoming alcohol and drug problems. RISE is currently making the picture look brighter in Haringey.
RISE is a new partnership between HAGA’s Kinesis project and Westminster Drugs Project (WDP) Aftercare programme.
RISE has a number of opportunities for people hoping to progress into work through training, volunteering, and work placements. This is an ideal way for people who have had little work experience to find long term employment in fields such as Health and Social Care, Construction, IT, Security, Administration, Fashion, Beauty and much more.
RISE also acts as a gateway into the Haringey Guarantee Scheme which has been set up by the council to assist the long-term unemployed back into work offering work placements, interviews, and employment in a number of industries.
The team offer individual key work support to help a person gain personal and professional confidence in order to achieve their employment & training goals. In addition those within the program can access basic IT training, employment training workshops, peer support group, and a structured relapse prevention group.
The RISE team visit drug services within Haringey and meet with service users to establish positive connections and enhance motivation to work towards moving on and engaging in meaningful activities.
