The programme aims to help residents with health conditions, disabilities or other complex barriers move into long-term work.

Funding has been confirmed for 16 areas across England and Wales, including Mid Wales, North Wales and South West Wales.

The providers confirmed are Shaw Trust, Essex Cares Limited (ECL) and Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (EPUT).

The scheme will help those with disabilities and long-term health issues, building on previous Working Well Norfolk and local supported employment projects.

Devon County Council is leading the scheme in partnership with Plymouth City Council and Torbay Council.

Inspira has been appointed to deliver the employment support programme across Cumbria, working with Cumberland and Westmorland and Furness councils through Enterprising Cumbria.

Over 40,000 more sick and disabled people are set to receive employment support following a £167.2m investment in the Connect to Work programme.

Emma Daniel said: “Everyone deserves the chance to thrive in work, and I am really pleased to see that in-work support is provided as part of this programme."

A specialist team will match people with employers based on their skills and needs to make sure the roles are suitable.

Linda Cohen said: “By supporting those who face barriers to getting into or getting back to work we are fostering a more inclusive and supportive community."

The programme offers help with job searching, interviews, applications and curriculum vitaes (CVs).
