Job Finding Support Service
The Job finding support service provides employment support for jobseekers across Great Britain, helping them build interview skills, find local vacancies and quickly get back into work.
The quick-fire support will see a team of around 300 Job Search Advisors helping people to get back into work quickly and will help the recently unemployed who already have the skills and experience needed to move into a new career but might not be sure where to start.
The Job Finding Service will run in parallel to existing support available in jobcentres and by work coaches, as part of UK Government’s Plan for Jobs.
The £10m employment support will run over 12 months and forms part of our wider £30bn Plan for Jobs which is already helping people back into work as we level up and build back better.
