Helping People Find Work

Are you looking for work?


If you are on this website because you are looking for a job, you can start by using the self-service assistance which is available to everyone, about vacancies, careers information and learning opportunities.

If you need additional help or advice on your options we suggest that you get the support of one of the many organisations referred to on these pages and on the Directory.

Alternatively phone the Get On phone advice line and someone will call you back to discuss what services may be of assistance to you: 0800 917 4244.

If you are claiming a benefit you should already be in contact with your Jobcentre Plus adviser. Jobcentre Plus has published a useful guide giving practical help and advice when applying for jobs.
