Supported Employment Service at Newcastle City Council

The Supported Employment Service helps people who have barriers to employment find and stay in work. They help people to think about their career goals and how to achieve them.

We are one of the local providers for the Connect to Work Programme. This is a funded programme to support adults who face barriers with finding employment. This includes those with disabilities and additional needs as well as many other disadvantaged groups. It focuses on finding the right job first, then offering training and ongoing support.

They can help you to:

• understand existing skills and how they’re useful to the jobs market
• write a CV and apply for jobs online
• get ready for interviews
• stay in work
• take part in work experience and placements at Natures Landscapes and FoodWorks.

They also offer advice to employers on:

• disability employment
• work based adjustments
• organising interview candidates for your organisation
• skills tests
