Day Opportunities

Team Domenica offer employment programmes to help young people with learning disabilities and autism get paid work.

We call our young people “candidates” to show how they are people ready for employment.

Our Day Opportunities Programme offers a fun and exciting way to learn about the workplace.

Some people join Day Opportunities to gain experience before starting one of Team Domenica’s core programmes.

Others join to feel part of the Brighton community, build friendships and learn skills.

The North Star is our pub.

Here you can learn skills such as serving the public, making drinks, preparing food and washing up.

Our team will always be there to guide and safeguard you.

Team Domenica Cafés is the name of our training cafes. We have one inside the Library.

Here you can learn skills such as serving the public, making coffees, preparing food and washing up.

Our team will always be there to guide and support you.

Some Team Domenica candidates gain experience at our coffee roastery.

Here you can learn to roast, grind, label, package and seal our coffee beans.

This will help you gain work experience and learn new skills.

At Enrichment, you will take part in individual and team-based activities such as cricket, yoga, martial arts and dance.

This will help you build friendships and feel part of the community.

The Employability Job Club offers support for young people wanting to gain paid work.

It will help you learn skills such as how to write a CV, how to apply for jobs or how to act in an interview.

These sessions take place in small groups or as one-to-one mentoring.

This is Alexandra. She says:

“Coming to Team Domenica has made a difference to my life because I now have more friends and have learnt lots of new skills. The thing I like doing most is working together with my friends who are funny and it helps me to be more confident.”

This is Charlie. He says

“On enrichment I do my mentor sessions and I do kickboxing; it’s really good fun. I like helping with coffee too. The skills I’ve learned here are being considerate, tolerant and kind – about myself and others. I feel less lonely and less isolated because I’ve made more friends here than I ever have.”

This is Domenica. She says

“I like coming to Day Opportunities because I enjoy being part of something and I like to have a voice. I like the cafés and coffee and enrichment. I like doing all of it!

Day Opportunities is open to anyone over the age of 19 with a learning disability or autism.
