Supported Living
Our registered Supported Living accommodation feature six bespoke, purpose built
bungalows in Centenary Close and one semi-detached single story home known as
Jubilee Rise, all situated within walking distance of all the college facilities. We
ensure our young adults are included at every stage of the admissions process and
living with individuals who share similar interests, carefully matching the dynamics
and compatibility of each house group.
Within Centenary Close, each bungalow consists of a communal sitting room, a snug, kitchen, utility
room, and wet room for each bedroom. Jubilee Rise has 3 bedrooms and a communal
bathroom/shower room, open plan lounge, dining and kitchen areas.
Learners are encouraged to personalise their room when they move to St Elizabeth's to ease the
transition. Rooms can be freshly decorated, and furnished with new and/or familiar pieces of furniture
to suit the learner9s wishes. We recognise moving into somewhere new is a big step, so we will always
encourage learner9s to make their space their own with photos and sentimental items.
All of our on-site accommodation is owned by our local Housing Association, so learners are issued
with a licensing agreement when they move in. The licensing agreement is for 3 years based on a 52week year and is linked to their College placement - this means that only learners enrolled and
participating in College are able to hold the agreement. For learners who have been assessed as not
having capacity, their family/representative will be required to apply for deputyship to sign on their
behalf.
Our Therapy and Positive Behaviour Support Team support each learner in line with their EHCP to
develop their skills and understanding of their own health needs, as part of their education package.
Our Finance Team will support college learners with their benefits. All learners have access to housing
benefit in order to pay their rent, with Employment Support Allowance and Disability Living Allowance
allowing learners to meet their everyday financial needs.
