The Phoenix Project provides 1-to-1 online (Teams/Zoom) OET teaching sessions, run by either clinical medical students or doctors for one hour each week. Each session focuses on one or more of the assessed core skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking), with tasks set weekly to complete outside of each session. In addition, the operations and culture of the NHS is discussed. We write our own resources, reflective of the OET standard and format, that are used initially in sessions, before using official OET resources when a participant is closer to taking their exam. Currently, we are in a trial period of being able to offer participants one OET mock test with SET English to help inform final exam preparation and booking. The Phoenix Project is able to provide part-financial sponsorship for the OET exam as per our financial policy at the time; currently this is 50% retrospectively of the exam passed.

Passing the OET exam or IELTS at 7.5 is essential to registering with the GMC.

The Bread and Butter Thing (TBBT) at St John’s Centre is a great way to save money on your groceries every week and help to reduce food waste.

You can join TBBT for free, and your first weekly order is free too, so you can try it and see if it suits you.

You get three bags of shopping (one fresh fruit and veg, one fridge goods, one store-cupboard goods) for £7.50. You can also get a larger or smaller order to suit your household. You don’t have to take food every week, and you can vary the size of your order.

TBBT get supplies from the stuff you hear about in the news going to waste – perfectly good food that just isn’t needed by supermarkets, factories or farms. This means that you don’t get a choice about what you are given – though you can have a vegetarian order.

How to access:

All you have to do to get started is text TBBT – for full instructions: https://www.stjohnscentre.org/the-bread-and-butter-thing/

In partnership with a range of employers and training providers we provide a pathway into meaningful employment for the unqualified, unskilled and inexperienced, particularly in fields such as construction, hospitality and personal services.

We offer a range of services from job clubs, pre-employment training and work sampling all underpinned by 1:1 support.

We contact some of the most difficult to track and place young adults (the ‘invisible’) who are on no-one’s register, who claim no benefits and who live outside the system.

Our successes have been recognised by contracts with a number of partners and in 2018 we placed over 60 adults into sustained (over 6 months) permanent full-time jobs.

To Access:

Details of our services can be found in our calendar, our newsletter or our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/thebroughtontrust.salford/?locale=en_GB

The Broughton Trust provides services for refugees and asylum seekers across Salford. We provide a one to one assessment process to plan a bespoke learning and support programme for ESOL learners.

The wide range of courses in their ESOL programme are non-accredited and delivered in a community setting to reduce anxiety and increase participation, creating pathways to employment and qualifications.

Learning support workers work closely with each individual to identify skill gaps and other non-academic support needed. Information advice and guidance sessions are provided throughout the process and by working with outside organisations through a signposting/referral system.

How to access:

The courses we offer can be found in our calendar, in our newsletters or on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thebroughtontrust.salford/?locale=en_GB
