Phoenix Programme
A newly launched programme to support survivors of domestic abuse into sustainable employment.
About the Phoenix Programme
Your repairs and maintenance contractor Morgan Sindall Property Services (MSPS) and Westminster City Council have launched a programme to support survivors of domestic abuse into sustainable employment.
The programme will support female survivors of domestic abuse within the Westminster area to rebuild confidence and develop the skills to enter or re-enter the workplace.
Those who enrol will receive an initial assessment of needs and aspirations followed by support with digital skills, CV preparation, mentoring, skills for work, work experience, interview preparation and managing finances. MSPS will also provide guaranteed interviews for roles within the business and with supply chain providers.
We have also partnered with Smart Works, a UK charity that dresses and coaches unemployed women for success at their job interview. Smart Works will provide a bespoke dressing consultation to find an interview outfit that will provide the women on the programme with confidence ahead of their interview.
The programme will be delivered by MSPS’ Social Value team who will work in collaboration with our teams to identify residents who may benefit from the programme.
