How to find a job during uncertain times when you’re unemployed (Free Webinar)

Would you like to discover what help and support is available to help you find a job again on Government funded programmes?

You can obtain free, one-to-one job search support, as well as CV writing tips to improve your interview technique.

In this webinar, we’ll go through the different programmes available so you can find one that suits you best and that’s available in your local area. We’ll also go through all the support available which ranges from career advice, health & wellbeing support and how you can even get tailored advice with a dedicated Personal Adviser.

Alongside this, we will talk to Abbie who has recently used our service to find a job as a Trainee Care Support Worker at a local hospital after finding herself unemployed and using our Job Entry Targeted Support (JETS) North East service.
