Here at Action Acton we run a number of projects designed to help individuals get back to work.

This is a job brokerage project where our qualified IAG Advisors would caseload clients and spend as much time as necessary in order to place them into either F/T-P/T sustainable employment or into a voluntary placement with a view to preparing them to go into sustainable employment. This project also provides 6 months aftercare support in order to ensure that the employment becomes sustainable for the client.
