Finding flexible work
Training opportunities
Application and interview skills
Connections to local employers
Debt and energy advice
Support with benefits and grants
Childcare support
Household bill support
Help to reduce outgoings

Using any of these services is 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.
