Specialist Employment Support

A new service has been launched by South Tyneside Works to support residents with health conditions and disabilities to access education, employment and training.

Our specialist staff and training providers are ready to talk to you to help you get on track, no matter what your needs and goals are. Whether you're taking the first steps on your career path or getting back to work after a break of learning.

Paula Oliver, Job Coach said: "Support available from South Tyneside Works is tailored to the needs of the individual and includes activities that will develop essential skills needed to succeed in the workplace. Some of that support includes CV development and cover letters, interview preparation, travel training, signposting for specialist support, wellbeing, confidence and emotional resilience, work placements, vocational qualifications and supported job search. 

Our aim is to support with the smoothest transition into employment, with our supporting continuing once you're in work to ensure you're best supported to succeed and sustain work."
