Semi-independent living for young people

BEMOTTA Healthcare Services provides 24-hour high quality support alongside accommodation for young people aged 16-25, including unaccompanied minors with complex and diverse backgrounds, through a Person-Centered Approach.

The aim of the service is to provide a safe and homely environment that promotes empowerment, independence and choice, whilst enhancing the young persons’ daily living skills (ADL), enabling them to move on to a less supported setting. Our primary interest and responsibility are the safety, wellbeing and development of young people we work with.

We provide safe, well located and well managed accommodation and comprehensively trained, experienced and committed people with the ability to deliver effective support for Looked After Children.

Our support operates 08:00am to 22:00pm 7 days a week, as well as waking nights or sleep-in from 22:00 to 08:00 to meet the needs of those we work with. We also provide management On-Call Services for Out-of-Hours Care and Safeguarding cover. We take great pride in ensuring young people have a safe, decent and stable place to call home from which to build the skills they need to progress to full independence. We have highly trained key workers and support staff who provide support – generally a minimum of 5 hours per week – inspiring engagement and responding to young persons’ needs as they work through their coauthored Support Plans.

Our staff support and guide young people as they develop life skills required to sustain genuine independence and fulfil their potential. We have an Independence Skills Programme that is designed by, with and for young people exiting a care environment.

Management and staff also have a great deal of experience working with ‘unaccompanied minors’ and excellent knowledge of the legal framework, and experience of working with specialist agencies and other stakeholders involved in supporting those seeking a safe haven. Consequently, support might include attending Solicitor’s appointments and Asylum & Immigration Tribunal hearings for example.

Our support also includes supporting young people as they near their 18th birthday – and helping them deal with the issues that result from an impending asylum application process. We then continue working with the young person should they receive a negative initial decision and assist them as they appeal or prepare to leave the UK.
