How can Future Jobs Fund help you?
• We can subsidise wages for each new job created for up to six months
• We liaise with Jobcentre Plus to pre-screen potential interviewees and help short-list candidates - saving you time and money
• We can provide accredited training once individuals begin work to ensure they continuously up-skill
• We help individuals develop softer skills; building their confidence and offering advice & guidance
• Once employed, we continue to support and mentor the young person during their first six months with you
Why employ somebody through Future Jobs Fund?
• This is your opportunity to make positive life changes for young people or those finding it difficult to gain employment and make a difference within your community
• Employing someone new can build new skills in your business or organisation and bring a new perspective to what you do
• For those young people hit by the recession, you can ensure that their generation will not be lost to unemployment and a life on benefits
How to get involved
We are working in partnership with DWP, Jobcentre Plus and employers to create 30 jobs in Wolverhampton and 60 jobs in London in 2010. Vacancies for new jobs created will be advertised by Jobcentre Plus to people who have been unemployed for longer than 6 months, are claiming Job Seekers Allowance and are 18-24 years old or aged 25+ and living within an unemployment hotspot.
Our ambition is to secure job opportunities with employers from across a range of sectors although we will make significant efforts to support the building of capacity in voluntary, community, and third sector organisations, as well as small to medium enterprises.
Through the Future Jobs Fund, we have put together an impressive package of support for both the employee & employer, including a £3,200 wage subsidy, payable in instalments over the 6 months. All jobs created must be for a minimum of 6 months and must be at least 25 hours per week paid at minimum wage.
