3 Community Work Placements (CWP) CWP forms part of the government s Help to Work scheme and was introduced to support the achievement of the Department for Work & Pension priorities, namely: 1. Simplify the Welfare System and make sure work pays 2. Help people to find and stay in work

Daily worksearch reviews at JCP offices lasting up to 3 months 3. Community Work Placement up to 6 months

5 CWP - Outline Claimants participate in a work placement of community benefit for 30 hours a week, for up to six months, alongside provider-led supported jobsearch of between 4 & 10 hours per week CWP target group will be JSA claimants who have completed the Work Programme and whose key barrier is insufficient work history or a lack of motivation CWP will equip claimants with a period of work experience, enabling them to develop skills associated with employment and maintain an employment focus through additional provider-led jobsearch

6 CWP Critical Success Factors The number of claimants who achieve a start (in either a work placement or employment) The achievement of a diverse range of placement roles of community benefit across a range of sectors The number of claimants who complete CWP The number of claimants who achieve a job outcome

7 CWP Staff Structure Resourcing of staff delivery structure commenced April 14 Mix of experienced practitioners and new staff involved with programme implementation and delivery of DWP contracts Placement Liaison Officers: Support customers through the programme, liaise with placement providers / employers to generate placement and employment opportunities Work Coaches support the claimants provider-led jobsearch Placement and Employer Engagement team source and maintain a bank of placement and job opportunities

11 CWP Provider-Led Jobsearch We ensure that all claimants undertake a minimum of 4 hours provider-led jobsearch per week Provider-led jobsearch lasts for the 30 week duration of the programme Provider-led jobsearch is tailored to each individual to gain the skills required to sustain employment.
