We know it can be difficult to return to work and are here to help you to Move Forward.
This support is free of charge. We hope to offer this support in additional areas soon, so please watch this space.
What do we offer?
We’re here to assist you in finding your path to work, enhancing your skills, and breaking down any obstacles that might be holding you back.
We can provide access to free opportunities, such as volunteering and work placements to grow your experience. You can also access free training through Move Forward, including maths, ESOL and digital skills courses.
Our network can also help you grow personally and professionally, providing personalised help and guidance. We also offer free optional sports and activities to improve your wellbeing, boost your confidence and connect you with others in your community.
In particular, we want to support people who might be facing challenges and could use some extra help in their job search. Our goal is to assist you with crucial things like identifying job vacancies and helping you be in the best position you can be to apply for these successfully.
