New Deal

New Deal is a key part of the government's strategy to get people back to work.

It gives people on benefits the help and support they need to look for work, including training and job preparation.

The programme is part of the Welfare to Work strategy and tailored to meet the needs of the following groups:

  • Young people - 18 to 24 year olds
  • 25 year olds and above
  • Lone parents
  • Disabled people
  • 50 year olds and above
  • Partners of the unemployed
  • The self-employed
  • Musicians

All these are delivered locally through the government's employment services.

The programme also offers specific support for employers and training partners looking to take part in the initiative.

For further details contact New Deal seven days a week from 7am until 11pm pm on 0845 606 2626.

Alternatively, to find out about local employment opportunities within your area visit the Jobcentre Plus website.
