The District Provision Tool is a list of support services for Jobcentre Plus staff, local authorities and support services to signpost to which help customers remove barriers and move closer to their earning potential.
Support has been broken down into complex needs and split into national and regional areas based on the support available for your location.
The information published is not exhaustive and is only current at the time of collation (November 2022). It uses publicly published information that is already available online elsewhere. Each Jobcentre has its own selection of managed vacancies, Sector Based Work Academies, Job Entry: Targeted Support and other bespoke support options.
