WorkTaste (360G-CheshireCF-A447904)

The Rossendale Trust is a registered charity based in Macclesfield, Cheshire that provides accommodation and high quality, person centered care and support for adults with learning disabilities. We are seeking support for WorkTaste - a dynamic ‘in-house’ supported employment project working with local employers and community project partners to provide real employment experience for our tenants and the wider learning disabled community. The grant funding will be used to pay for some of our WorkTaste coaches who will support 30 placements, over a 12 week period and also some additional resources to support the project such as IT equipment and essential staff training on H & S, Safeguarding, Mental Capacity, Diversity & Equality, Fire Safety. This training is mandatory and forms part of their induction as well as ongoing essential refresher training.
