Earlier this month I visited Leicester’s Job Centre on Wellington Street and spoke to the work coaches for the over 50s and for the young unemployed, and their disability advisers to find out how they are trying to help people find work and to encourage employers to provide more support too.
Huge thanks to everyone for talking to me about the work they are doing and the challenges they face, especially Disability Employment Advisors Vib and Clare, and Carly who leads the work coaches for over the 50s.
