Education, employment and training

West House can help you to access training, work experience and employment in a number of ways.

We can help you find volunteering and job placements to suit your skills and interests and are a delivery partner in the Choices project, helping people to become ‘work-ready’.

We run five social enterprises which provide training opportunities for people with learning difficulties including our cafes in Workington, Whitehaven and Keswick, our Grow West garden centre in Allerby, and The Pottery in Workington.

Each one of our employees strives to work to our core values in everything they do.

We are committed to providing a person-centred, inclusive and positive environment in our facilities and social enterprises for those that we support and our visitors.
