Residents of Barking and Dagenham who need help and support to get in to work can now visit our Job Shops in person and have face-to-face appointments.
This is a welcome development following months of lockdown where residents have only been only able to contact the service by telephone and online.
Services on offer include one to one support, help to calculate in-work benefits, CV writing, guidance on application support and interview techniques as well as match candidates to local employers.
Cllr Sade Bright, Cabinet Member for Employment, Skills and Aspiration, said: “After nearly two years of lockdown, which has meant the service has been helping people virtually and over the telephone, I am glad that in person appointments are now starting to happen once again.”
Residents can contact the Job Shops at: Dagenham Job Shop – 020 8724 8877; Barking & Construction Job Shops – 020 8724 8870 They are open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
