Workplace support for families

Workplace has a set up a new team especially to support families in Newham. Whether you are the main wage earner, a partner or dependent son or daughter, Workplace can help you and your family build your skills, overcome barriers and prepare for work.

Workplace staff will

  • identify your key skills and strengths
  • provide the training you need
  • get your CV up to scratch
  • prepare you for interview
  • expert one to one support
  • help you get the right job at no cost to you
  • help you identify appropriate childcare if required
  • ensure you and your family are financially better off

We can also advise you on benefits you may be able to claim while working and will support you when you start your job.
