Workplace visits are an integral part of the Making It Work Teams calendar. Once employment is sourced and job coaching completed the team withdraw and then complete workplace visits and check ins to keep ourselves visible to the employer and offer support and trouble shoot as needed with our clients.
Nothing brings us more joy than a workplace visit to Terrence. He is thriving in his role as part of the housekeeping team British Heart Foundation.

It’s been a strong start to 2026 at Barista Meadows. Georgina has welcomed a new barista trainee, Crystal, to the team.
Crystal brings previous café experience and is keen to develop her barista skills now to secure paid employment. She will be trained in all relevant skills by Georgina and supported by Making It Work both throughout her training and in securing paid employment once she is confident in her role.

Barista Meadows is a coffee bar based at Southend Care Ltd Brook Meadows House.

Brook Meadows is home for Brook Meadows Residential Care Meadows Home Care, Viking House, Southend Shared Lives Making It Work, Southend Care Reablement Team, and Southend Care Management and Head Office team.

We wish Crystal every success !!
