Need help finding work?
Worknet is a Council service to support residents who are not currently in work to find training and a job. Our employment advisers are based around the borough. They will meet you in regular one-to-one appointments to discuss what help you may need, arrange vocational training in different sectors and work with you to consider your job goals and help you find the right long-term job for you.
Services include:
- One-to-one Information, Advice and Guidance on returning to and remaining in work, delivered from various offices across the borough
- Benefits advice and how welfare benefits and working tax credits may be affected when starting work
- Voluntary work placements to gain recent experience, new skills and a reference
- Access to other Council frontline services
- Job opportunities at the 2012 Olympic Games
- Vocational training courses including Railway engineering (PTS), Truck Induction, catering, retail, and safety at work training courses
- In-work support and careers advice for up to 12 months
