Lee Llewellyn
Facilitator (Modern Apprentice)
I am an apprentice social work assistant and joined the team in October 2022 on a short-term work placement for 6 months. Throughout this period of time I enjoyed supporting the team to ensure that young care leavers were given the best support to allow them to go onto independent living.
This placement gave me the passion to want to go onto pursue a career in Social Work and fortunately there was a position for an apprentice facilitator in the Fife House Project.
Having known the team I would be joining I was keen to apply for this position and was successful in my interview. I can say that the job has given me my own self-belief and I look forward to what the future holds for me, as I know I’m part of a community that only continues to succeed and grow.

A message from our CEO January 2024

Increasing our reach to more young people both by spreading and diversifying in local authorities where there is already an existing Local House Project (LHP) and scaling to new LAs is key whilst at the same time improving our offer by acting on the insights of young people, colleagues and independent evaluations.
