Here at NEST (Nacro Education, Support and Transition) we are commissioned by Lincolnshire County Council Children Services to provide safe and stable accommodation to 16-21 year olds across the county of Lincolnshire. Within NEST we have 2 Solo Placement houses, these are located within the city of Lincoln and are a short walk away from each other. The 2 houses are each home to 1 young person who is supported by a 24/7 staff team consisting of day, evening and dedicated night support workers.

All three houses are well presented traditional Lincoln city homes and present as a typical family home in the community; all featuring a staff office.

Most of our young people have experienced some level of childhood trauma and, as such, they all have a variety of support needs varying from substance misuse, undiagnosed learning needs, a lack of independent living skills, offending behaviours and mental health needs. As a support worker you will support the young person 1-2-1 in their living environment, tailoring a support package around them based upon their current needs.
