RISE – Team Leader

We’re an award-winning social enterprise with a simple goal: to spark change in place. We believe that the best way to do this is to ask a question: what does it take to improve a place? What makes us unique is the fact that we combine two things in one business: we deliver employment support, advice, connection and engagement services to individuals and we help social organisations, charities and institutions to deliver greater impact through our consultancy services.

Renaisi has been delivering RISE to support refugees in 10 boroughs in North & East London into sustainable employment since 2017. This project is funded by the European Social Fund and The National Lottery Community Fund.

The purpose of our Employment Programmes is to assist hard to reach communities back into the labour market by providing individuals with direction through a specially designed menu of services. These services include engagement, diagnostic assessment, employability skills, advice and guidance, signposting to specialist provision and short vocational courses, job search, assistance with interviews, and in work support.
