Connect to Work

Connect to Work is a free, employment support programme designed to help people move towards and sustain meaningful employment. It’s not just finding you a job, it’s about finding the job that’s right for you.  

Support is available to individuals who: 

  • Live in Newcastle 

  • Are aged 18+ 

  • Want to work 

  • Are currently unemployed and looking for work, or 

  • Are already in work but need support to retain their job or progress in employment 

Experienced Employment Specialists will provide you with personalised, one-to-one support tailored to individual needs, goals and circumstances. 

Support can include: 

  • Identifying career goals and opportunities 

  • CV development and job applications 

  • Interview preparation 

  • Confidence building 

  • In-work support to help people stay and succeed in employment 

  • Liaison with employers to identify suitable opportunities and workplace adjustments where appropriate 

 Connect to Work also works very closely with local employers to understand what they look for in successful job candidates and identify suitable job opportunities for participants, ensuring jobs can be matched based on your strengths, experience and career ambitions, while also ensuring employers can access candidates who are motivated and well-suited to their vacancies.
