Employment Plus operates in over 650 locations: in churches, community centres and Lifehouses within The Salvation Army.

We work alongside jobseekers to understand their needs and goals, and tailor our service to fit the needs of each individual. We also provide training opportunities to support them in moving into work.

Our Employability Practitioners thoroughly assess each jobseeker taking part in our programmes. We’re not just interested in employment history: we also want to understand their personalities, experiences and goals in life.

Participants benefit from one-to-one support and group workshops from our Employability Practitioners. This enables us to better understand the person’s whole character and guide them to the resources and training opportunities that best fit their needs.
