We are very lucky in the London Borough of Sutton in that we have access to lots of support around getting back into work. As always, there is no magic wand, but there is help and support available for everyone, in every situation.

If you are keen to look into things yourself, then the following is a great place to start....

South London Partnership - No Wrong Door

The South London Partnership understand just how much is on offer in our borough, and that it can be overwhelming and hard to know where to start when getting back into work!

No Wrong Door South London is there to help you overcome these barriers, to make it easier for you to find your way around the skills system and back into work. The site looks to support you in many scenarios, for example if you are looking to upskill, change career paths, get back into work after a long period out etc.

If this sounds like it is for you, have a look at the No Wrong Door website here and get in contact with them directly if you need more support to get back into work.

Reed in Partnership - Work Routes

Work Routes is a support service that helps unemployed people to move into work. It is free to access for those who meet the eligibility criteria.

You would be allocated an expert Employment Adviser and access to a wide range of training, wellbeing and financial support.

Whatever your circumstances, Work Routes can help you find and start the right job for you.
