The Department for Work and Pensions is actively seeking individuals who are not only customer-focused but also possess the requisite skills and commitment to deliver exemplary public service in the capacity of Work Coaches. These roles are specifically located at the Barrow office, and the DWP has enlisted the expertise of Inspira to aid in recruitment efforts by both identifying candidates and enhancing their skill sets.
Inspira has instituted twilight sessions aimed at prospective candidates who may be unavailable during standard working hours. These sessions provide an overview of available roles, detail the application process, and highlight essential skills and behaviours required for a successful career as a Work Coach. The significance of identifying transferrable skills is also emphasised, which is crucial for candidates transitioning from different sectors.
Furthermore, Inspira is extending its services to the DWP’s current claimants who might be interested in applying for these roles. The organisation is conducting upskilling sessions with a comprehensive approach, assisting participants with aspects such as CV preparation and crafting personal statements, alongside honing their interview skills. Such measures are designed to bolster the candidates’ confidence and readiness for the application process.
Judith Wilkinson, a Partnership Manager at the DWP, has expressed confidence in Inspira’s capabilities, citing their excellent track record in aiding individuals who are either entering the workforce or seeking to make significant career shifts. “DWP have asked Inspira to deliver these sessions as they have an excellent track record making a positive difference in supporting people who are looking for work and those wishing to change or improve their careers,” she stated.
Julia Winder, Area Operations Manager at Inspira, expressed satisfaction with the partnership, highlighting the organisation’s commitment to boosting local employment opportunities and providing the necessary support for individuals re-entering the workforce. “Our team in Barrow are pleased to be working with DWP to assist with their recruitment needs. At Inspira, we’re dedicated to helping local individuals improve their skills and open up new career opportunities. For those who have been out of work for an extended period, we recognise that extra support and guidance may be necessary to prepare them for the application and selection process, and to build their confidence,” she commented.
Additionally, interested individuals are encouraged to participate in a twilight session for a comprehensive understanding of the role. The session is scheduled for 13th December from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm, bookable via the Inspira office. Moreover, one-to-one tours hosted by JCP at Barrow on the 4th and 5th December will offer candidates deeper insights into the application process.
Inspira’s collaboration with the DWP underscores a dedicated effort to streamline recruitment for Work Coach roles, ensuring a skilled and prepared workforce.
