One-on-one support from us

You can get one-on-one support from us through our Rapid Return to Work service.

You'll work with the same person each time and stay in touch by phone and email. They can help you with:

• a CV and cover letter
• interview coaching and practice
• regular catch ups
• matching you with jobs you’re interested in
• ongoing support and advice

You can get this if you’ve been getting Jobseeker Support or Sole Parent Support for less than 12 months, or if you’ve applied for one of these benefits.
