What makes us unique?
Our Staff
The team at Newark Emmaus Trust works towards the shared goal of independence for our young people. Many of the staff are qualified to lead sessions in our purpose-built Training Centre known as The Hub. All staff are Enhanced DBS checked professionals. What makes the team unique is that it is not only qualified to lead sessions in our Training Centre but it also provides one-to-one care and support in the project. This breaks down barriers and enables staff to support residents in all areas, it really is a holistic service. There are robust safeguarding and whistleblowing procedures in place to ensure all have a safe place to live.
Our Accommodation
We have many types of accommodation to meet each resident’s individual needs. These range from high-support, shared-accommodation designed to encourage all residents to learn to live together as a group, to individual bedsits for residents who are a bit more independent – right through to houses in the community for young parents with babies. All accommodation is fully-furnished to a good standard.
Our Training Opportunities
We have an on-site Training Centre (The Hub) where we have workbooks with certificates of achievement that lead to appropriate accreditations. We also have access to many more opportunities from volunteering at organisations like the Canal and Rivers Trust and Southwell Workhouse, to volunteering or training courses further afield with organisations such as the Prince’s Trust. If you have an interest we will support you to research the opportunities.
