The Family Opportunity Hubs offer support from a dedicated Working4U Officer on a one to one basis who will discuss individual requirements.  The officer will  create an individual action plan with clients to support them to work towards desired goals.

They can offer support with:

• Applying  for school grants - EMA, uniform and free school meals

• Applying  for benefits online and managing Universal Credit journal

• Financial Health check to review in and out of work benefits

• Referral to local support services (e.g food banks)

• Access to qualifications/learning and training online

• Creating a new CV, accessing and applying for job vacancies

• Advice with housing issues, debt, rent arrears and support with budgeting

• Group training

We are here to support parents/carers, people employed on low incomes with any barriers/issues that may be preventing them from moving forward in their employability/learning  journey.

​

Participants can be referred by using the above referral mechanisms. Once referred a dedicated Working 4U Officer will be in contact with the client to carry out an assessment/action plan and discuss next steps.
