Help for employers

Through our Plan for Jobs, the whole of the UK government is focused on protecting, supporting and creating jobs across the country. We need to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to contribute to, and benefit from, our national revival. Whether you are a business owner, self-employed or a job seeker, there is guidance and support available.

Whether you are recruiting, want to advertise a job or are making the difficult decision to reduce your workforce, information and support is available to you and your employees.

If your employees need help looking for their next job, encourage them to visit jobhelp. The Coronavirus (COVID-19) work and financial support page provides information about other help available to employees.
