Achievement Service

"Supporting you to aspire and achieve in employment, education and training"

The Achievement Service are available to support you if you are a Nottinghamshire looked after young person aged 16-17-years-old, or an 18 – 24-year-old care leaver.  We want you to be the best you can be, and so our aim is to help you to aspire and achieve in whatever career path you choose to take.  Whether that’s through education and studying in college, going to university, doing an apprenticeship, on the job training or succeeding in the world of work. 

The Achievement Service are committed to helping you make the most of every opportunity and can offer you support, advice and guidance until your 25th birthday.

We are a team of Achievement Advisers who can work with your Social Worker (if you are looked after), your Personal Adviser, the 21Plus Service (if you are 21-24-years-old) and lots of other professionals to help you plan your journey in employment, education and/or training.  

We can be part of your Pathway Plan, Personal Education Plan or complete an Employability Assessment so together we can explore what opportunities are out there and how we can help with the support you might need.

We work closely with lots of partner agencies and organisations so together we can improve the opportunities for you in employment, education and training.  We see this as an extension of the Local Offer for Care Leavers and so we have called this our ‘Achievement Offer’.  This is available in booklet format from your Social Worker / Personal Advisor or by going to Notts Help Yourself

You can get in touch with an Achievement Adviser by speaking with your Leaving Care Personal Adviser, or you can contact them directly via [email protected]
