About us:

• Partnering with the participant to create a comprehensive action plan to identify appropriate career opportunities, identify any employment related barriers and the actions required to progress towards sustainable employment.
• Understanding the internal and external information, advice and guidance available to support participants with debt concerns, mental health conditions or career coaching and signposting as required.
• Working in partnership with the internal Employer Services team and relevant external employment support services to identify appropriate job opportunities.
