I’ve been unemployed for a while but would like to get back to work, where do I start?
Contacting Jet is a great place to start. We’ll arrange to meet you to find out what sort of job you’d like to do and what we can do to help you.
If I contact Jet will you put me under pressure to find a job?
Our Jet advisers are friendly and approachable, we won’t interview you and we certainly won’t put you under any pressure. We work with you at your own pace, there is no obligation to come back and see us, we’re here to help when you need us.
What will happen to my benefits while I’m on a training course?
You can still claim benefits while you train. We will also pay any costs you incur, like travel and childcare costs.
I’ve got no skills to offer an employer, how will you help me find a job?
Our friendly Jet advisers will work with you to identify the skills and training that would help you get back to work. We’ll also help you re-discover the skills you already have that many employers look for.
How can I get a job, I’ve got no-one to look after the kids?
We can advise you on childcare (and may even be able to cover the costs) so that you can attend interviews and training courses.
How can I go back to work, I need to take the kids to school and pick them up?
Don’t worry, we’ve got lots of part-time jobs and will help you find one to suit you. We will work with you to find a job that fits in with you and your family.
I don’t have a car, how can I find a job?
We’ll pay your travel expense to get to training courses and interviews, and because we work in the local community we can help you find a job close to home.
What happens if you find me a job and I don’t like it?
We can arrange for you to do work experience so that you can try the job for a while first to make sure you are going to like it.
I manage quite well on benefits, why would I want to go back to work?
Please give us a call, we can arrange a “better off in work calculation” to show how you could benefit from being in work.
Interviews scare me, I’ve got no confidence.
At Jet we work with you at your pace to help build your confidence and self esteem, we won’t send you for any interviews until you feel ready. We’ll help you realise your true potential.
