Job Centre Plus

Job Centre Plus can provide support to help find, prepare for, and stay in work. They provide training, support programmes and work placement programmes (such as Kickstarter). Job Centres have remained open during the most recent lockdown, with reduced opening hours in some cases.

Personal support to help an individual identify their employment needs, match their skills to work that’s available, take training, meet with employers, find long-term employment and manage any health problems that impact on work.

The Job-Entry Targeted Support Scheme (JETS):
