Jude Court is a purpose built unit with six bedsits for vulnerable young adults. It is located near the centre of Shaftesbury and offers low support housing. Staff cover is available throughout the week on a minimal basis, there are two part-time staff and one relief member of staff who covers while the others are on holiday etc.

The young people living at Jude Court have to be highly motivated in looking for work or college places if they don't already have either. At present, the majority of the young people are working and are on training schemes, this is the positive ethos that Jude Court wishes to keep. It is emphasised to the young people that Jude Court is their home, a place where positive plans are made for their future, in partnership with them.

When they move in, the young residents find that their bedsits are fully equipped from wooden spoons to fridges and kettles! There is also a communal laundry and sitting room, where a television and hi-fi system have been provided. On the whole, they are responding well to the input Signpost has made.

Regular house meetingsare held and this is a good and effective way for everyone to have their say in a calm and constructive manner.
