Community & Transition Team
Ensuring young people in the community are safe, connected and supported as they take the next steps to adult life
Here for young people
Our Community and Transition team provides a range of supports to care-experienced and vulnerable young people in Edinburgh – from those living with us in our houses to those making the transition into a first tenancy to those already living in the community, often with children of their own
Based at our Wellbeing Hub in St. John’s Road in West Edinburgh, we work with young people, children, families and professionals to address the four key areas of a young person’s life:
Education, Employment and Training
Personal, family and social wellbeing
Independent living skills
Welfare, Income and money
Focused Support
All support is specific to the needs of each young person and/or child/family.
Work is underpinned by a tailored care plan and our team work flexibly across evenings and weekends to ensure support is delivered at the times it is needed.
We do this by providing such help as:
1:1 and whole-family support
Throughcare and Aftercare support
Tenancy and homelessness advice
Employability and skills
Groupwork
Peer Mentor support
Lived-experience participation and engagement opportunities.
If you know of or are supporting someone who you feel could benefit from the service provided please contact us.
