Common Purpose with LSPs |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Jobcentre Plus works closely with the Dudley Community Partnership, and in particular on the agenda around tackling worklessness and improving employment rates and skill levels within residents of the Dudley Borough. Jobcentre Plus has actively supported the Dudley Community Partnership ‘signpost’ one stop shop in Brierley Hill, and has Advisers located in the shop to give job search advice to jobseekers. Jobcentre Plus activities help address the ‘worklessness’ outcomes for Local Strategic Partnership (LSP’s) in disadvantaged and deprived areas. Jobcentre Plus seeks to increase the employment rates of disadvantaged groups (lone parents, ethnic minorities, people with health problems or disabilities, people aged 50 and over, those with the lowest qualifications and those living in the local authority wards in the poorest labour market position). Jobcentre Plus seeks to focus additional resources on these groups in order to significantly reduce the difference between the employment rate for these groups and the national rate. Jobcentre Plus is a member of the LSP and is committed to supporting the development of new initiatives and funding streams to tackle worklessness ensuring that that they add value to existing mainstream provision. Cross-cutting interests include improving occupational health and helping sick and disabled people have more active lives; ensuring there is additional support for those offenders being released from prison, and improving employment support for those who are recovering from substance misuse. Drivers The Jobcentre network holds 'Charter Mark' status for it's customer service excellence, and seeks to deliver these high service standards, whilst achieving targets set by Government around jobs and training provision. Jobcentre Plus has a target for helping support unemployed customers into sustainable employment in the form of job outcomes. Performance is assessed not on the simple total of individual job placements but on a weighted total – with different points allocated for different customer categories and additional points for residents of disadvantaged or deprived wards. |
