Since 1980 the Society has been involved in providing employment opportunities under the various Government Employment schemes including YOP - ACE - New Deal - Worktrack - Jobskills etc. through it's regional headquarters in Belfast

 

Involvement with these 'back to work' initiatives over the last 25 years has provided work experience/training and helped hundreds of individuals back into work whilst carrying out work of community benefit for the Society.

 

Temporary Placements

 

We have up to ten placement opportunities in our Stores & Warehouse collecting and delivering items to the needy; Retail opportunities in our three shops, sorting and displaying furniture & clothes and Administration opportunities at our regional offices carrying out general office duties.

 

 

 

 

New Deal is a key part of the Government's Welfare to Work strategy. If you are in receipt of JSA (Job Seekers Allowance), you should already be aware of how New Deal works. For further information speak to your Personal Advisor at your local Job Centre. Over 95% of our placements will come through the main Belfast Jobcentre at Gloucester House in Chichester Street and then through our local Lead Provider 'North City Training Limited'.

 

New Deal Opportunities

 

How does it work?

 

All New Deals start with an interview with a New Deal Personal Adviser who supports you throughout your time on the programme. During this interview your skills, experience and job hopes are discussed. Any gaps in skills or knowledge are identified and the New Deal Personal Adviser may suggest extra help to get you ready for work, such as support to develop self confidence.

 

The New Deal Personal Adviser helps you into work by tailoring the support available through New Deal to your individual needs and circumstances. This support can include subsidised employment, work experience with employers, training and help with essential skills. Ask your Personal Adviser to see the help which is available.

Eligibility

 

New Deal is a major element of the Government's Welfare to Work strategy. It gives unemployed people aged 18 to 24 and 25+ a real chance to develop their potential, gain skills and experience and find work. In addition, the New Deal for Lone Parents and the New Deal for Partners offers assistance to lone parents in receipt of Income Support and partners of Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) claimants (and partners of certain other benefit recipients) to find work.

 

 

New Deal is managed by the Department for Employment and Learning and is delivered through a series of Lead Providers in each District Council area to local placement providers like ourselves.

Gateway

 

The first phase of New Deal, the "Gateway", provides intensive help to get you into work. This might include interview practice and help with job applications, or short courses to improve work skills. During this period, you will have access to a range of services and opportunities to help to prepare for and find work. As people are encouraged to think about what they want to do and are helped to prepare properly, employers get recruits who are motivated and committed to the job.
