Yes, the team can also work with you to help you find better work or move your career forward. For some residents this can mean:

• increasing their earnings through better pay or more hours
• finding more secure work (for example, moving away from zero hour or fixed-term contracts)
• finding work closer to home to reduce travel costs or to fit around caring for children or family members
• changing to a sector where there are good career progression opportunities for higher paid or higher skilled jobs
