About
Sheffield City Council awarded a contract to Big Ambitions CIC, Manor & Castle Development Trust Ltd, NUCA trading as Zest, Reach South Sheffield, Royal Mencap Society, SOAR Community, and WISE Ability for the 'Sheffield's Working 2018-2019' programme, designed to support vulnerable residents in preparing for, entering, sustaining, and progressing within work.
The programme, aligned with the Council's Economic and Employment strategies, focused on specific groups with shared protected characteristics, primarily long-term unemployed residents or those at risk of long-term unemployment, including individuals on JSA (or Universal Credit formerly entitled to JSA), Income Support, or economically inactive with additional vulnerabilities.
The opportunity was split into eight lots: four Working Locally Work Clubs (E/SE, N/NE, S/SE, Central), Ex-Offenders, two Specialist Keyworkers (Mental Health, Learning Difficulties), and an Employer Champion.
The contract value was AUD 709,890.
