Restart scheme
A 5 step return to work process
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.
