If costs are mounting up, the thought of applying for benefits, taking that first step into work or looking for ways to increase your earnings can feel overwhelming. But whatever your situation, you don’t have to do it on your own – if you live in the Fife area, the council’s Opportunities Fife Partnership is here to help. Their trusted advisers can help you manage your money, find a job that works round your family or boost your income.
How the Opportunities Fife Partnership can help
Talking to an Opportunities Fife Partnership adviser is free and confidential. An adviser can help with:
- Developing your CV
- Job searches
- 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.
