One in four of us will experience mental health issues at some point in our life. This can be misunderstood, debilitating and very isolating. Meaningful work and the right help make all the difference in getting back on track... and that’s what we’re all about.
We provide all our people with holistic day-to-day support in our structured production environment; improving wellbeing, life and employability skills, and mental and physical health. Working in our warehouse provides invaluable work experience for those who are able to move on to sustainable paid employment.
We help people with a desire to gain skills to move on to paid employment. We provide work experience, references, tailored help with CVs and job applications, and interview skills training. Phoenix is a safe place to go each day and doing genuine work creates a sense of self-worth and purpose.
Working at Phoenix is a constructive alternative to being isolated at home or getting up to mischief in the town centre. Many of our people have been with us for over 10 years and hugely value being part of a fun, productive, caring community.
What Our Service Users Say
"I really enjoy my job at Phoenix. I’m excited to come here. Everyone is so friendly. They are amazing really. I absolutely love it."
"I’m so excited to be starting my new job. I had been going from one thing to another, then I had Covid, and losing my last job over a year ago was hard. Phoenix has given me the boost I needed. I start my new job on Thursday, but I still want to come and see everyone at Phoenix sometimes. I like seeing my friends here. It gives me something to fill my day."
"I can say confidently that without the support and guidance at Phoenix I would not be in the position I am now. The support they give is very personal and helpful towards all their people."
