Based in different community hubs throughout Brighton & Hove, Day Opportunities supports candidates to develop work-based skills, confidence, independence and social connections. Day Opportunities uses a personalised, structured and skills-based approach to support candidates in real-world community settings. It is delivered over 49-weeks, with candidates attending one or more sessions per week, as part of a consistent timetable. This supports routine, continuity, and meaningful engagement. As an adult social care provision, Day Opportunities is open to anyone who is over the age of 19 with a learning disability and/or autism. Typically 2.5 hours in length, candidates attend one or more sessions per week depending on their assessed needs, outcomes and preferences. The North Star places candidates in the heart of Brighton, helping our young people build on their skills in a professional and varied environment. Jubilee Library Café provides real-world hospitality experience, where candidates receive barista training, build connections, and learn key skills such as money handling and customer service. The Coffee Roastery allows candidates to grow as individuals, build connections and gain valuable workplace skills. Enrichment sessions utilise team-based activities to build resilience and interpersonal skills, fostering opportunities for friendships and encouraging candidates to engage with their community. The Employability Job Club helps candidates to develop work-related skills such as writing a CV, applying for vacancies, and completing interviews. An amazing 97% of our candidates say they feel more confident as a result of our programmes.
