New Deal

New Deal schemes are for 18-24 year-olds or 25 years plus and last for 13 weeks. These age groups are not purely for people claiming Jobseekers' Allowance (JSA), but may also include lone parents, partners of those claiming benefit and people with a disability. Participants work a minimum of a 30-hour week in a supported job placement.

The New Deal team members are:

• Stuart Quenby, Programme Manager
• David Corrigan, Development Officer
• Sharon Fretwell, Placement Officer
• Linzi Wren, Recruitment Officer
• Angie Baines, Administrator

The team is always looking for additional voluntary and community organisations who would consider taking on a New Deal placement. Please contact Stuart for an informal chat about the possibilities.
