MEET YOUR ADVISOR
They will get to understand your circumstances and your goals. Together, you’ll make a plan for getting into work. Everything will be arranged by your adviser.
SKILLS TRAINING
If you need it, we will get you access to training that will develop and re-fresh your skills ready for work. This might include skills for a particular job, IT training or a qualification.
HEALTH & WELLBEING
We can help if you have a health condition or disability and provide support with things like pain relief, anxiety and learning ways to manage your health at work.
APPLICATIONS
When you’re ready, your adviser will help you apply for jobs that will suit you and your circumstances. They can re-fresh your CV, help with forms and practice for interviews with you.
FINANCIAL HELP
We can also help with costs of travel, work clothes and childcare.
