DWP is modernising the way Jobcentre Plus delivers its services and handing responsibility back to the Jobcentre Plus advisers who work with claimants day in, day out. Jobcentre Plus advisers will assess the individual needs of people and offer the support they think is best.
Jobcentre Plus advisers are now able to offer claimants a comprehensive menu of help including skills provision and job search support. They have the flexibility to judge which interventions will help claimants at the most appropriate point in their job seeking journey, tailoring this to individual need. For example, vulnerable young people often need additional support to find and gain employment. Jobcentre Plus, in partnership with Skills Development Scotland, Community Planning Partnerships, colleges, training providers and employers, has a key role to play in influencing the provision offered locally to best meet the needs of employers and people on benefits.
The flexible support that Jobcentre Plus District Managers are putting in place is being bolstered with a series of Get Britain Working measures such as: Work Clubs, volunteering, work experience, New Enterprise Allowance, Enterprise Clubs, sector-based work academies, and mandatory work experience.
