Helping you build a stronger, more inclusive workforce

Whether you’re looking to fill a vacancy or support someone already on your team, we’re here to help.

Hiring and retaining staff can be tough. You might be facing:

● ‎ Difficulty finding reliable candidates

● ‎ High staff turnover or absenteeism

● ‎ Uncertainty about how to support employees with health conditions, disabilities or other barriers

● ‎ ‎Limited time or resources to provide in-work support

How Connect to Work Can Help

Connect to Work is a fully-funded service that works with employers like you to:

Match you with motivated candidates who are ready and eager to work

Provide one-to-one support for you and your new employees to help them settle in and succeed

Offer advice and guidance on reasonable adjustments and inclusive practices

Support existing staff who may be struggling to stay in work due to health or personal challenges

Reduce recruitment costs by helping you find the right person, the first time

As we begin rolling out Connect to Work across Lancashire, our goal is to offer the highest quality support to everyone who wants to get involved.

To ensure we deliver this effectively, we’re taking a phased approach and expanding the service over the next few months. This means that, initially, some individuals or areas may not receive the full level of support straight away.

We’re working hard to reach every community, and we expect to have the full offer of support in place by October 2025.
