What Happens Next
If you think you might want to join Nehemiah you can ask your keyworker or probation officer to refer you via our Application Form.
Referrals
To join Nehemiah a man must be referred, using our application form. This can be done as a self-referral, or by an agency worker.
We will send you a risk assessment form to fill out to support all possible interview candidates.
We treat all applications in the strictest confidence, and evaluate all forms using the same criteria.
Anyone can phone our Referrals Team to discuss a referral.
Self Referral
If you want to join Nehemiah, you must fill out an application form. If you find forms hard, you can ask for help. You can download an application form by clicking here, or we can send you a paper one in the post. Phone Paul Da Costa on 07719 960 703 or Bridget Walker on 07442 049 780, or email referrals@tnp.org.uk
The more you tell us in your form, the easier it is for us to decide that you can come to Nehemiah. We will not share your information with anyone outside of Nehemiah.
Assisted Referral : For Agencies
Please complete an application form and send to Paul Da Costa or Bridget Walker, referrals@tnp.org.uk, or by post to:
The Nehemiah Project,
47 Tooting Bec Gardens,
London,
SW16 1RF
We also ask for a Risk Assessment form. You can send us your own Risk Assessment form if your agency prefers.
Info
Once we receive an application form, we complete a screening process to establish whether the applicant is eligible using our criteria. Once this process is complete and eligibility is established, the applicant will be invited to interview. We try to interview all of our applicants face to face, therefore applicants in the community will be expected to attend either our Streatham or Croydon offices for an interview. Those outside of London or in custody may be subjected to interview via video link/TEAMS/ZOOM, however, where possible, we prioritise an in-person interview.
If the applicant can attend interview, it will be held at one of our houses, either in Streatham or Croydon
If the applicant is in prison, our staff can visit to conduct the interview.
Once the interview is complete, the applicant will be presented to our team and our recovery team will come to a collective decision on whether to offer a placement. The applicant will be informed in the week following the interview. Successful applicants will be invited to join the programme as soon as possible, or will be placed on the waiting list if there is no vacancy. Applicants on the waiting list should keep in touch with Nehemiah until a vacancy arises. Priority is on a strictly first-come-first-served basis.
When attending interview, applicants will be drug-tested and breathalysed. Anyone testing positive will be asked to leave the premises immediately.
