A helping hand to find

There is help at hand for Scotland’s jobseekers, whether it’s getting back into work, changing career or finding your first job or work placement.

Despite the coronavirus pandemic, there are opportunities out there. Make today the day you start to shape your tomorrow.

The Jobhelp website (gov.uk/jobhelp) from Jobcentre Plus provides advice, support and information to help people back into work or make that next step in their career – but there’s lots more.jobhelphaslotsofadviceandtipsfromexsearch techniques. You can also find out what it’s like to work in different sectors, and how to look for jobs in them.

It’s all part of the UK Government’s Plan for Jobs – a £352 billion package which has already helped millions of Britons and saved jobs.

If you’re currently unemployed and claiming benefits, there are a range of specific programmes available in Scotland which can help you with employment, work placements, training, getting interviews or getting advice and financial assistance to become your own boss. The UK Government has worked with the Scottish Government to develop these schemes and they run in addition to existing support offered by the Scottish Government.

We’re not all the same, and neither is the help on offer, it’s tailored to suit you.

Whatever your circumstances, there are opportunities out there and Jobhelp can help you find them. Take the first step and visit the Jobhelp website – it’s a good place to start.
