Aspiro provides end to end employment support services across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. We believe that working and learning can seriously improve individuals' confidence, quality of life, and mental health. We provide similar services to other groups facing disadvantage in accessing employment and we see how working improves chances of recovery from substance misuse and reduces offending. We provide relevant one to one advice, support to access paid work, volunteering and learning, including jobsearch help and brokerage with employers, plus group sessions and courses to build confidence, motivation and positive attitudes. We work with local employers to develop work placements as well as try and reduce stigma around mental ill health, substance misuse and offenders, so they see with Aspiro's provision of both pre-employment and in-work support, our customers in recovery can become valued employees.
