Notice Information

Notice Title

Lone Parent Support Programme

Notice Description

The Leicestershire and Northamptonshire Jobcentre Plus District Manager has identified a need for a provision which will help Lone Parent Claimants to re-enter the labour market. The provision aims to assist pre and post Work Programme Lone Parent claimants who are in receipt of welfare to work benefits [Income Support (IS), Jobseekers Allowance (JSA) or Employment & Support Allowance (ESA)] to progress into sustainable employment through a bespoke programme of support. This will be achieved by: * challenging the myth some lone parents may have around possible financial loss when taking up employment; * increasing claimants' confidence and motivational levels and raising self esteem; * increasing employability skills and identifying transferable skills; * ensuring claimants understand about follow-on support and childcare arrangements.
