How East Ayrshire can help

If you’re looking for a job that fits around childcare and other commitments, an adviser at East Ayrshire's Parental Employability Support Fund (PESF) can help. Or perhaps you've been out of the workplace for a while and are a bit worried that your skills are out of date. Or perhaps you already have a job, but are looking to increase your earnings. They can support you with:

Developing your CV
Job searches
Finding flexible work
Training opportunities
Application and interview skills
Connections to local employers.

If you’re struggling with family problems, they can connect you to other services to support you with:

mental health and wellbeing
childcare
money matters, including advice on debt, benefits and managing household costs.

Using any of these services is also entirely voluntary, so you won’t be pushed into a job that doesn’t suit you. It also means you won’t lose any benefits you’re currently receiving if you decide it’s not for you at any stage.
