Help to Work Project
Our Help to Work Project offers completely free, independent support for anyone aged over 18 who are looking to take their next steps towards employment.
Support is tailored for everyone’s circumstances, helping them to overcome any barriers they may face on their way back to work. The project is one of a range of Daventry Volunteer Centre projects with access to a wide range of volunteering opportunities that can help build confidence, get people involved in the local community, or experience a taste of what working in different job roles may be like.
As well as traditional support such as CV writing, job matching, writing job applications, sourcing training opportunities, assisting with technology solutions and transport help, the Help to Work project aims to take the stress away from job searching and make it a positive process. So, whether you’re ready for your next job or are taking it slowly, we’re here to help! We have had great success in helping people return to work from ill-health, caring responsibilities, and other significant life events.

Would you like to get involved?
Searching for work can be a frustrating, daunting and lonely experience, especially for individuals who are facing some of the biggest barriers to paid employment.
Partner with us to support employability within the community through volunteering with the Help to Work Project. We are looking for a wide range of volunteers to help support the project.
We believe that businesses and organisations within the community are a key partner in helping us support individuals back into work. We are actively seeking local businesses and organisations that would be interested in working with us to help individuals break down barriers and find paid employment.
Support can include providing work experience placements, employment opportunities, internship or return-ship placements, training opportunities or the provision of workplace mentoring to individuals to help build their confidence.
Alternatively could your employees offer time to help with mock interviewing or interview readiness support?
