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 Angus area, the council’s Parental Employability Support service 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 Parental Employability Support Angus can help
Talking to a Parental Employability Support adviser is free and confidential. An adviser can help you with:
- Developing your CV
- Job searches
- Finding flexible work
- Training opportunities
- Application and interview skills
- Connections to local employers
- Debt and energy advice
- Childcare support
- Support with benefits and grants
- Household bill support
- Support 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.
