Removing Barriers
How can we help remove barriers?
Working with a Customer Co-ordinator can help boost confidence and gain new techniques from learning how to complete an online application form to interview skills.
Assistance with a CV can help improve chances of gaining a job interview and our team can support by offering advice on layout, content errors, transferable skills (previous experience) and how to adapt a CV to match a job specification.
If requiring training or more specialised assistance a Customer Co-ordinator will be able to signpost to a relevant partner organisation usually within the local area and access funding were available.
In certain circumstances financial assistance can be offered for equipment/tools and clothing/travel costs which may be required for a successful job start*.
Another opportunity is our Matching Team who support our customers to identify the right job opportunity with the latest jobs from Jobcentre Plus and other employers.
Once starting a new job it can be very difficult moving to a monthly salary especially from benefits and some customers find the transition a real struggle. Our Customer Co-ordinators will attempt to remove these barriers by helping with essentials for instance it could be initial childcare or living costs*.
