Hi,
Just wondering if anyone can answer this question for me. well what it is my adviser today at the work programme told me I need to start applying for cleaning jobs other then packing and warehouse work.
Anywhere everyone knows cleaning jobs is not a good wage however if I get a cleaning Job will I still get housing benefit towards help for my rent for my 1 bedroom flat? as at the moment I get the full housing benefit and will I still get the full housing benefit if I get a job or will I have to pay some rent?
For example, I have applied for this cleaning Job on Universal Jobmatch https://jobsearch.direct.gov.uk/GetJob.aspx?JobID=3309691&JobTitle=Cleaning+Operative&redirect=http%3a%2f%2fjobsearch.direct.gov.uk%2fhome.aspx&pp=25&pg=1&q=3309691&sort=rv.dt.di&re=134&AVSDM=
Just looking for someone to answer my question, thanks

My adviser told me to apply for cleaning jobs and she said next appointment she wants to see job applications for cleaning. So I had no choice as I don't want to be sanctioned.

You should not be restricting your job search to one job role only. Apply for anything and everything that you could do. Be sure to tailor your application for each job.0
