We wish to build formal partnerships with national and local organisations representative of the public, private and 3rd sectors in order to develop Flexible New Deal services responsive to the needs of local communities, employers and other stakeholders.

We are seeking to partner quality-driven organisations able to deliver some or all of the following services:

  • Employability - Advice & Guidance, Soft Skills, CV development, Job Search support and work experience.
  • Skills - Sector specific and generic skills delivered as short pre employment programmes and through ongoing workplace delivery.
  • Specialist Services - Targeted interventions to address specific client needs and barriers to sustainable employment.

We are holding partnership events during the week of 9 November which will provide the opportunity to discuss our approach to developing and delivering services which meet the needs of individuals and local communities by working together. You’ll also get the chance to hear the experiences of existing Remploy partners and meet the Remploy team. As we’d like to hear your views on working together successfully the events will be interactive and participative, and we’d welcome your ideas on how we can deliver innovative local solutions through effective partnerships.
