How we can help
Recruitment services
We offer no-fee recruitment services to help find the right candidate. We’ll work with you to understand your needs and connect you with people we think will be a good fit in your businesses.
Support for wages and training
We’re focused on getting people into and staying in work. There are lots of things we may be able to do to support this, including:
- a financial contribution to wages and pre-employment, in-work or short-term training
- ongoing support and advice to help new staff settle into your workplace
- supporting candidates with a health condition or disability into work, through a financial contribution to wages, workplace modifications or on-the-job support.
