Network Personnel Ballycastle (Source Programme)
Network Personnel is an organisation with an extensive knowledge of the Cookstown & Moyle areas. We have a detailed knowledge of the issues facing the communities in which we operate, as well as an understanding of the employment opportunities (existing and potential) in and around these communities.
On 30th November 2011, Network Personnel officially opened a third branch at 2 Quay Road Ballycastle. The new premises were acquired in order to facilitate the delivery of ‘Source’, a new and innovative employment support programme, in the Moyle District Council area.
‘Source’ Sourcing Opportunities by Understanding Real Challenges to Employment is contracted by the Department for Employment and Learning and is specifically designed to enhance people's employment prospects through a one-to-one, client centred mentoring service. Support provision includes personal assessment, addressing of barriers to employment, motivation/self-confidence building, C.V. preparation, application form completion, interview techniques, benefit advice and general guidance on job search and employment opportunities.
Source is a FREE service and available to people who are in receipt of health benefits, out of work partners of benefit recipients, people who are not claiming any benefit or young people who are not linked to the benefit system or engaged in employment, education or training.
In addition to the Moyle & Cookstown areas, the programme is also available on an outreach basis in the Antrim, Ballymena, Ballymoney Carrickfergus, Coleraine, Larne, Limavady & Newtownabbey District Council areas to individuals who have one or more employability barriers including a history of homelessness, ex-offenders/ex-prisoners, a history of drug/alcohol misuse or young adults leaving care.
