Employment & Work Experience
OUR SERVICES
We offer real work opportunities through our social enterprises including paid roles, volunteering, supported employment, and hands-on work skills projects that build confidence and open up opportunities.
Developing life skills and independence
Destined operates a number of social enterprises that give adults with neurodiverse needs and learning disabilities the chance to do real, meaningful work. Whether it's our car wash, café, venue hire, or the Foyle Valley Railway Museum, our members can gain practical experience in a supportive environment where they're treated with respect.
We also offer volunteering placements and supported employment pathways to help people build a CV, develop transferable skills, and take confident steps towards paid employment.
“Destined has helped build my confidence over the years, before I came here I didn’t like talking to people much. Now I have the confidence to talk to others and express my feelings. It’s also given me the opportunity to progress in life, I am now a volunteer with roles including maintenance around the building and supporting other members to complete tasks.”
