New Job Advice?

Where do you live and what age are you? there is other help out there that is not Jobcentre. does your local Council help. In Edinburgh for example there are a number of projects such as working for families that help with back to work expenses for people going into work that have children, so they would for example pay for the first months childcare costs (as childcare providers want paying in advance and wages are in arrears), they also help in situations where benefits stop immediately but pay does not kick in until the end of the month (so no household income) they give out asda giftcards to buy shopping or work clothes. There are other projects and charities that can help but there are usually eligibility conditions.

Hello everyone, I'm looking for some help and advise......

Be on JSA now for the last 8 months, and it is really hard out the. However my advice to everyone is to keep pushing! Rejections are HARD, but you must keep you chin up.


Right.....I have been offered a FANTASIC job opportunity, and they want me to start next week. Which I could not be happier with, however here is my problem. It requires travelling, and a lot of it.

1. In order to start my job I need to have a few jobs done on the car.

2. Monthly paid job, which means the first month will be hard.

JSA < Told me I am NOT entitled to anything (back to work help) even a clothing allowance.

Is there a grant scheme or anything available to HELP people get back into work? without some help, regretfully I will have to turn the job down, which I dont want to

Loans/credit cards etc < I can't do.

I hope someone can help me? or point me to someone that might be able to?

Many thanks

Jay
