Get Set for overcoming employment barriers.
Getting back into work after some time off can be a real challenge and you may need help to overcome any employment barriers you are facing. The Restart Scheme, part of the government’s Plan for Jobs, provides employment support for those who need it most. Commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), Get Set UK delivers the Restart Scheme with partners, Maximus in Walthamstow and Redbridge, FEDCAP in Portsmouth and Crawley and Ingeus in Camberwell and Southwark.
Through Restart, we provide support that is tailored to your personal needs and circumstances. We’re here to help you every step of the way. Together we will overcome any challenges or concerns that may be preventing you from finding work and will find the right opportunity for you.
