The aims of the provision are: • to challenge claimants benefit dependency – identify why individual claimants are reliant on welfare benefits and empower them to ‘break through’ the barriers of entrenched worklessness; • to increase claimants motivation and confidence levels and raise self-esteem – identify and promote positive traits about individual claimants; • to inspire claimants to make ‘lifestyle’ changes – create a bespoke ‘road map’ that sets out realistic and achievable goals; • to improve the immediate job prospects of all participating claimants; • to increase employability by developing effective workplace behaviours, attitudes and “soft skills”, i.e. the qualities, attitudes and behaviours employers look for in potential recruits; • to enable claimants who do not find jobs immediately to be better prepared and aware of the Get Britain Working measures and local non-contracted provision to make an appropriate choice of support to assist them back into the workplace; • to support claimants with their basic digital skills and provide them with the skills to undertake digital jobsearch; • to support claimants with money related issues, including financial benefits to working, financial capability, in work benefits (including ‘better off’ calculations), and debt management.
