Restart Scheme
Get Your Career Moving in the Right Direction
Providing enhanced and tailored support to help you on your journey back into work
Our Approach
Restart your career with us
Since 2021 we’ve helped thousands of people find meaningful employment and we’d love to help you, too. We understand that everyone is different and that a one-size-fits-all approach rarely works. That’s why our fully flexible approach gives you access to a range of services designed to get you in the best shape for work.
The Restart Scheme
The Department for Work and Pensions’ Restart Scheme launched in 2021 to help long-term unemployed people back into work. We’re proud to deliver the Restart Scheme in South Central and in the North West (on behalf of G4S), providing a broad range of support including help with job applications and interview preparation, assistance finding local vacancies, online tools and much more.
Our experienced and passionate team are here for the long haul and are able to support you for up to 12 months. That gives us the time to understand your needs, circumstances, goals and aspirations to help you get the right support.
And our support doesn’t stop when you find work. We provide an ongoing in-work service to help you settle in, overcome any challenges and generally make sure both you and your employer are happy. If things don’t work out, we’ll do everything we can to help you secure a new role.
