Eligibility

The  Jobsearch Support Service for Newly Unemployed Professionals is targeted  principally at professional or executive jobseekers in receipt of Job Seekers  Allowance (JSA) who have become unemployed after a period of long term  employment.

This  support service is fully funded by the Department of Work and Pensions  (DWP).  Eligible customers will have  little or no experience of current job search channels but will have the  confidence and motivation to seek work independently. 

The aim  of the programme is to give customers with professional and executive  occupational backgrounds, the knowledge and skills to enable them to identify  and secure relevant jobs using up-to-date job search techniques and to exploit  diverse recruitment channels.
