Jobs Club
Jobs Club is our service which supports people into employment, education, training, and volunteering.
How we Help
Jobs Club can be crucial for people to access long-term housing. It can exist in many formats -
For those on benefits, we can help guests liaise with the Job Centre, and once in stable accommodation support them to get employment.
We can support those who would like to get a qualification to start a new career, or just to refresh skills.
We can also help with guidance on available courses and training, and through individual grants we can cover course fees.
We are also here to help people how are not yet ready for work or don’t have the right to work, including refugees and asylum seekers. There are many ways people can be supported to prepare for work, including through volunteering and mentoring.
We have partnerships with many local companies, agencies and employers to offer a range of opportunities to our guests. If you – or your company is interested in volunteering with us or offer an employment placement to our guests please contact us below.
Testimonies
“I was pleased to attend the C4WS Jobs Club for an initial three-week period. I found the experience profoundly humbling and incredibly rewarding. I previously thought I had a good idea of what it must be like to be homeless, but this experience made me see things from a different perspective. It’s the simple things that we all take for granted that struck me most, as these present a daily challenge to homeless individuals; How can I contact someone, if I don’t have a phone? How do I meet this person, if I have no mode of transport? A simple short investment of time on my side together with great support from C4WS, helped individuals overcome these barriers and get things back on track. The positivity generated as a result between the mentees I met was incredible. The whole experience, brief as it was, has been one of the most rewarding in a lifetime and has been left me wanting to do more.”
