Who we help

We support a range of people, including, but not limited, to:

• Those who are not currently in education, employment, or training (NEET).
• Individuals claiming Universal Credit.
• Those who run their own businesses, would like to set one up or need business startup advice.
• Young people, ex-offenders, people in active recovery from addiction, and those from other disadvantaged backgrounds.

We work closely with a broad range of adult & youth employers, national businesses, and local networks to deliver supported employment opportunities that lead to real, sustainable outcomes. 

Each service supports a specific group of people, so please check the eligibility requirements for your desired scheme before enquiring. If you can’t find a service that suits you, take a look at our external guide to employment support.
