On 3 February we officially launched the Job Finding Support (JFS) service, which will provide more than 150,000 jobseekers across Great Britain with employment support, helping them build their interview skills, find local vacancies and quickly get back into work.
The quick-fire support will see a team of around 300 job search advisers helping people to get back into work quickly and will help the recently unemployed who already have the skills and experience needed to move into a new career, but might not be sure where to start.
JFS will run in parallel to existing support that is available in jobcentres and will complement the role of work coaches who provide more intensive support for jobseekers, including anyone facing specific difficulties returning to work.
The £10m employment support scheme will run over 12 months and forms part of our wider £30bn Plan for Jobs which is already helping people back into work as we level up and build back better.
