When you’ve spent time out of work or you have never had a
job, it can be very easy to focus on what you can’t do and the
reasons why an employer wouldn’t employ you.
It is easy to lose confidence, but with the
right support and advice, you can boost your confidence and equip
yourself with the skills and training that you need to believe in
yourself again.
With employment and training centres across
the UK, our friendly and experienced staff help a wide range of
people who have many different reasons for being out of
work. Our Advisers offer a one-to-one confidential service
allowing you to feel comfortable and at ease when discussing your
current situation and job goals.
Better off in
work
As well as boosting your self esteem and
giving you a sense of purpose, work will also improve your
financial situation.
Before you start any work, our Advisers can
provide you with a ‘better-off in work calculation’ which will look
at your current financial situation and calculate the benefits of
working.
We can also advise you on any additional
funding available such as working tax credits, return to work
credits and any back to work bonuses that you may be entitled
to.
If you still have concerns about moving off
benefits or whether you can cope financially or personally, our
Advisers can talk you through a number of options available, which
are designed to make your transition from benefits to work as
smooth as possible.
