BEING MADE REDUNDANT?

WHAT DO I DO NEXT?

Don’t worry, we are there to help you.
Contact Communitas EU Ltd, and you will get help with the steps you need to take before and after being made redundant; the staff at Communitas will be able to provide you with support advice and guidance and can often find funds for you to train or retrain.

The initial interview with Communitas may take place at your place of work or maybe at one of their local offices. At this initial interview you will get advice on the next steps to take and how to make the best use of our partner agencies for example:

JobcentrePlus

The present system is to call a national freephone number to register as unemployed. You will then need to carry out a telephone interview with a Jobcentre plus advisor.

If necessary an appointment will then be made with your nearest Jobcentre plus office where a one to one interview will be held.

Staff at JobcentrePlus will advise you on:
  • Benefits
  • The best steps for moving forward for work
  • Work that suits you
  • How to prepare for work

Careers

Advisers here will draw up an action plan with you for your training requirements, where appropriate
or you will be referred to NextStep in England, Careers Wales if you live in Wales and the Scottish Executive in Scotland.
