The Live and Work Well Programme is an 18-week employability programme to support you to build confidence and skills to enter employment. 

Our programme is designed for women to grow in confidence, learn new skills as well as recognise the skills you already have, to move into fulfilling employment, or further training/education or volunteering. 

It is aimed at women who have experienced exploitation through DA, trafficking, experience of sex work, whether indoor sex work or street sex work, or displacement and the psychological distress experienced from being forced to flee from your home country due to conflict, persecution, or other traumatic events. 

The programme includes up to 18 sessions on employability skills, life skills and self-care, alongside learning to manufacture our range of candles and wellbeing products with full training and support. You will cover topics such as values, strengths and skills, teamwork, problem solving, dealing with conflict, CV writing and interview technique and have fun making a range of beautiful, luxurious products.  

Sessions are practical, creative, nurturing and empowering, and they take place once a week, from 9.30am-2pm, allowing for those with childcare needs. Every trainee is supported to take part in a short, voluntary work placement after the 18 weekly sessions. We also match you with a trained, trauma-informed mentor, who will support you for up to 12 months after the programme ends, and we run regular coffee mornings throughout the year, ensuing all LoveWell trainees have the opportunity to stay in touch, receive continued support and help with job searches, applying for training programmes and connection.
