EMPLOYMENT support network Starting Point has listed a host of job opportunities – many of them in key worker roles – which are being advertised as they try to help people who are out of work during the coronavirus crisis.

Starting Point, which is part of St Helens Chamber, is also offering a range of services to help people across the region find work and access support they need. Below is some of the support on offer and Starting Point's most up-to-date list of recruiters.

Support with finding a job, redundancy and for furloughed workers

Starting Point staff say they understand that now, more than ever, people need support in getting into work, especially if they have recently been made redundant.

Telephone appointments are being offered where staff can help job seekers search and apply for work, give career guidance, help with CV writing and offer redundancy support. There is also support for furloughed workers.

To book a telephone appointment, call 01744 698800 or email info@thestartingpoint.org

Redundancy Support

A Starting Point spokesperson said: "You are not alone at this difficult time – we can offer help with searching for jobs, job applications, CV writing and interview skills remotely. Starting Point can also help you apply for funding to help you retrain and ensure your qualifications are up to date so you can get back into the workplace as quickly as possible.

"Funding for training can be applied for 13 weeks prior/post redundancy date, and training must be related to your previous job role (it can also be used to venture into self-employment if you have a business plan).

"This funding can be used towards training, a course, qualification or licence; the course must be short (less than 2 weeks measured on a full-time basis) and face-to-face.

"For more information on applying for redundancy support funding, call 01744 698800 or email info@thestartingpoint.org."
