Purpose & Company Ethos

To provide care leavers with the emotional care and practical support & advice that they need whilst promoting independence.

At Rubi living we consistently ask ourselves;  “would this be good enough for my own child ?” and, as corporate parents, proceed to bestow an exceptionally high level of care support. We are committed to raising the standards of supported independence provision by setting an example with the hope to improve education, employment and training statistics for care leavers.

To actively intervene

We understand that we must do a lot more than simply monitor care leavers’ progress in order to maximise their chances of achieving their potential. We are committed to working collaboratively with the team of professionals linked to each young person; through our highly enhanced Pathway planning, consistent encouragement and consistent avocation, we actively intervene and ensure that every opportunity is made available to them.

To ensure that care leavers are fully equipped with the life skills & knowledge necessary for safe independent living

We work with the young person to complete comprehensive Independent Living Skills Course, which covers the practical skills in general knowledge necessary for successful independent. We research the educational and vocational courses and to secure places. C.V building in an alliance with them pathway plan is in essential part of our support package.

Who is the service for

The Rubi living service is aimed at young people aged 16+ who would benefit from a semi-independent setting before moving on to complete independence. We facilitate single care leavers. The Level of support that we provide is relatively high and so we are able to take on low, medium or high– risk placements.

• A staff member is present in the house at intervals throughout the day
• A working night’s worker is present throughout the night if required
• Staff are in regular phone contact with the young person throughout
