New Start service

If you're not in paid work, whether you're seeking your first paid role or returning after a break, we'll meet to establish your skills, match them to your ambitions and identify any training and/or reasonable adjustments that you need. We'll then develop your employment plan to help you reach your goals. For most people, entering paid employment for the first time or after a break is quite a stressful time and you'll also have personal issues that you'll need to address when changing your circumstances. Paritas will guide you along your journey and be there to support you when needed. New Start options include:

• work experience (as part of a training plan if needed)
• individual training/skills uplift
• temporary or short-term employment
• part-time working hours
• flexible working hours
• fulltime work

Are you ready?

The only thing that we ask of you is that you are ready and able to enter employment and willing to undertake additional training if and as required. If you're not sure, please check with your health professional for advice. If you're ready, contact us.
