Department for Work & Pensions Funded
The Restart Scheme is part of the Government’s Plan for Jobs which aims to help one million people in England and Wales back into employment. Jobs 22 was chosen to run Restart Scheme across East Central England; an area which includes Bedfordshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, North Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire, Staffordshire & Warwickshire.
We work with local delivery partners in each region, chosen for their expertise and standing in the local community. We prioritise working with small to medium sized organisations with specialisms in employability, health, housing, training, and education as well as public sector organisations including local government and FE & HE institutions.
Introducing the Restart Scheme
This short, animated video gives an overview of what the Restart Scheme is all about and how Jobs 22 and its 11 delivery partners support people towards and into employment.
Participant Journey
Working with local employers, local government, and support services based in the area, Jobs 22 has created a service that gives Restart Scheme participants extra help and tailored support by removing barriers to sustainable employment.
Everyone who accesses the Restart Scheme receives tailored support starting with an introduction to their Jobs 22 Employment Coach, who is there to advise and support the entire journey.
We want every participant to get the maximum benefit from working with us.
We’ve designed our journey to ensure they’re supported every step of the way.
Bespoke Local Support
All participants are supported with the tools, technology, and coaching they need to jump-start personal development and succeed in their job search. We create bespoke support systems by partnering with local organisations and charities so our participants are empowered to join local businesses with the skills they need to succeed.
In-Work Coaching
Our support doesn’t end when a new job contract is signed. The Jobs 22 approach offers continued services to participants beyond their start date so employers can trust their new employee is supported with everything they need to deliver in their new role.
The ongoing relationships we build with employers across the region allow us to ensure that participants can succeed in building a sustainable career, once employed. By focusing on individual participant success, we can have a huge positive impact on local businesses, partners, and the community beyond.
