We assist young people to overcome any barriers preventing them from achieving their goals.  We deliver employability training and support their progression into jobs, apprenticeships, further education, and training.  At Barnardo’s Works, we believe that it is important to build a trusted relationship with each young person we support; sharing information about our programmes to ensure the support we offer is tailored to your needs; along with the personal and employability goals you are focussed on achieving.

Our Offer:

-Young people will be supported by a Project Worker throughout their journey.

-We deliver a suite of programmes/activities that include SQA and sector-specific qualifications.

-Young people will have access to local volunteering, work experience and employer engagement activities.

-Young people will be able to join our service at the stage that is appropriate for them.

-Promoting positive health and wellbeing will be integrated within all programme stages.

-We aim to build young persons’ confidence, skills, and resilience to effectively transition between and across different stages of the employability pipeline. We also aim to support moving young people towards their employment goals.

Programmes

Barnardo’s RISE – Resilience, Inclusion and Support for Education (we currently have a waiting list @ May 2026)
Supporting Children and Young People (CYP) aged 11-16 years (and their families) living in Angus, during key transition points (Primary to Secondary School and Preparation for Adulthood, post-school) who are unable to attend school regularly due to family circumstances, health, trauma, poverty, anxiety, or difficulty with social situations at school. We specifically target CYP with Additional Support Needs (ASN – Diagnosed/Undiagnosed) and Care Experienced Young People (CEYP).  Download a referral form below in the documents section.

Barnardo’s Works Tayside uses a person-centred, trauma-informed, and tailored approach to supporting young people on their journey into employment.

Discovering Your Potential (DYP)

DYP supports care experienced young people for up to a year to build their resilience and confidence, progress towards and sustain further education, jobs, or apprenticeships. Each young person is allocated a key worker who will provide ongoing support and signpost for specialist intervention as required.

Explore & B’Leave (E&B) – Currently no places available (As of May 2026)

E&B focuses on supporting young people aged 15-18 to make the transition from school to post-school activity, working on areas such as confidence building, mental health and wellbeing plus vocational activity, e.g. CV building, career mapping and college/employer visits.
