The Restart Scheme

The Restart Scheme gives enhanced support to individuals to secure jobs in their local area and aims to tackle the barriers that prevent people from finding work.

Originally launched in 2021 by the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP), it has been designed to provide up to 12 months of personalised support to participants to help them to find and maintain sustainable employment.

From November, we will have a Restart Employment Advisor based in Reach. This means participants in the scheme can attend Restart appointments locally, rather than having to travel into the city centre.

If you’re interested in joining the scheme and finding out when you can speak with a Restart Employment Advisor, email reach@southliverpoolhomes.co.uk or call into Reach, to get in touch with us.
