Job Centre Plus have specially trained staff to deal with business making redundancies.
As we all know redundancies are challenging for everyone involved. With their
range of partners across Great Britain, Job Centre Plus can provide tailored solutions
to suit your business circumstances, to minimise the impact and provide help and
advice when redundancies are taking place. They can help people make the journey
back to work, or develop training and redeployment plans for groups of employers
from specific industries.
If you need to make people redundant then Jobcentre Plus and thier partners can
support your employees through our online and telephone-based services by:
- providing information about alternative jobs within the labour market
- matching them to known vacancies
- helping them draw up CVs
- helping them enhance their jobsearch skills, and
- providing general information about benefits and taking claims.
They can also provide a Rapid Response Service when you need to make 20 people
or more redundant.
This includes:
- a skills analysis to help identify transferable skills and training needs relevant to the local labour market
- job-focused training to help individuals develop vocational skills needed within the local labour market, and
- an action fund to overcome individual, more short-term barriers to taking up a specific job offer, e.g. travel to work expenses.
