The Towards Work programme delivers an ethical recruitment solution with no cost to an employer and is delivered by a partnership of local organisations who specialise in supporting people into work.
Towards Work participants choose to begin their journey on a voluntary basis, rather than being mandated to do so. This demonstrates their strong work ethic from the outset.
Our Job Brokers support job seekers to be ready for placement, work or voluntary opportunities with employers, through tailored one to one support packages.
Our participants have exclusive access to our bespoke online resource centre. This platform helps to ensure that you receive the highest quality of candidates.
