Working in Partnership with Working Links (Employment) Ltd        

 

We are a leading UK provider of Welfare to Work services, we believe in working in partnership with the best quality-driven organisations to deliver our services responsive to the needs of customers, employers and stakeholders.

 

Community Task Force (CTF) is part of the wider Young Persons Guarantee available to all customers aged 18-24 who are approaching 6 months of their claim to Jobseeker's Allowance where a subsidised job or training are unsuitable or unavailable.

CTF will offer up to a maximum of 6 months quality work experience of benefit to the community, designed primarily to enhance the employability and work-related skills of participants, and increase their chances of entering sustained employment. In line with the direction of travel for welfare reforms, the CTF should be flexible and tailored to the individual circumstances of the customer where possible. At the end of CTF if a customer has not found work, they will join Stage 3 of JRFND at the point they left it.

 

Working Links will deliver ‘Community Task Force Phase 2’ as a Prime Contractor, and are looking to engage with providers as potential subcontractors to deliver front-line services by providing work placement activities. We will partner with organisations with a proven track record of: 

 

• sourcing work placements, job trials and voluntary work; and
• delivering high quality support, including assessment, action planning, case management and post-employment support.
