A 5 step return to work process
RESTART scheme
Designed to support people in securing sustainable employment, the RESTART Scheme is part of the UK Government’s ‘Plan for Jobs’ initiative to break down employment barriers for individuals. Commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions, the RESTART Scheme gives Universal Credit claimants who have been out of work for between 12 to 18 months enhanced, bespoke support to find work in the West Midlands.
As a provider, Starting Point Recruitment are working with employers, local government and other partners to deliver tailored support for individuals with our 5 steps process designed to help break down barriers to employment.
As an organisation, we help local people – many of whom face multiple barriers – find sustainable, rewarding and meaningful jobs.
Restart’s five-step process for participants
 | 1. Meeting your employment coach |
 | 2. Identifying your needs and skills gaps |
 | 3. Identifying relevant opportunities for you |
 | 4. Supporting you through job search |
 | 5. Helping you secure employment |
How to begin your RESTART journey
You can enquire about the scheme via your Jobcentre Plus Work Coach and ask them to arrange a meeting for you with one of our specialist Employment Coaches.
