Jobs 22 provides responsive, tailored, human support to help people back into meaningful work.

Jobs 22 has created an efficient approach to employability services which takes a holistic view of the participant.
We identify their skills, availability and ambitions then provide the local support they need to achieve through a simple five step process: Fast Connect, Activate, Energise, Achieve and Progress. Our model continues through in-work support to ensure sustainable employment is achieved and employers’ goals are reached.
Surrounded by a team of experts – employment coaches, skills trainers, health and wellness coaches and employer services consultants – our teams can concentrate on what they do best: delivering sustainable outcomes for participants and funders alike.
Jobs 22 is a 21st century employment and health services provider. In its first year, Jobs 22 was awarded responsibility of delivering the Restart Scheme across seven counties that make up East Central England, as a part of the government’s Plan for Jobs.
Our Health services support individuals in their search for employment, giving them opportunities to make changes, set goals, access the services and help they need to lead healthier balanced lives, and increase their chances of being successful in a new role.
Our diverse team includes clinical practitioners from a wide range of backgrounds, skilled in addressing both the physical and mental health barriers that research proves hold people back.
The Jobs 22 app is designed around our participants’ needs, connecting them to the resources and tools they need to stand out to hiring managers. Whether they want to improve their CV, research prospective employers or prepare for interviews, our app brings it all together for an easy and seamless experience.
Every participant can access tailored support through the Jobs 22 app and enjoy features that help them feel ready and prepared for interviews.
All our participants continue to have access to the Jobs 22 app functionality after they start a new job as part of our ongoing in-work services.
Digital poverty is a real concern for many of our participants, so we offer access to connected devices and training both online and in-person.
We prioritise giving participants access to the technology they need while giving guidance on how to maximise results, considering recent innovations such as CV evaluation algorithms and recruitment search tools.
In addition to strategic partnerships with key training providers both online and offline, Jobs 22 has a team of in-house skills trainers, with over 75 years combined of teaching experience across the team.
As part of our Employer Services team, our trainers identify labour market trends in demand for skills, occupations and sectors. They use that data to create targeted courses in close collaboration with employers and health coaches to ensure both participant and employer needs are met.
Jobs 22 seeks out delivery and provider partnerships with independent, small to medium and community-based organisations in a variety of forms – charity, commercial and third sector – as we believe that locally focused expertise is more useful to our participants, while delivering the best results for our funders.
We use technology to deliver digital facilities that are highly valued by our participants. Our start-up status allows us to create an infrastructure that prioritises resources for in-person support on the frontline and hybrid working for our corporate teams.
Our robust measurement tools ensure that we can quickly identify and implement improvements on a continual basis. This data driven approach is at the heart of our work with local and national employers. We constantly evaluate local community and labour market data to stay ahead of employment and sector-based trends.
If I hadn’t made that first step and attended the first appointment with Jobs 22, I wouldn’t have felt confident enough to return to work. I’m feeling more positive about the future now and I know if I have any questions or concerns I can visit them in Grantham. I have people in my corner.
Craig, Jobs 22 participant
Jobs 22 has been so supportive and helpful and I am really grateful for all the guidance and help you are giving me and the confidence so I can succeed with the career I have always wanted. It really means a lot to have someone outside of family that believes and encourages you to pursue your dreams.
Kamala, Jobs 22 participant
