Derwentside Employment Team have developed a relationship with Sure Start and their Children’s Centres which brings support to those who need it most.
Bringing up children doesn’t have to stop people working. Together Sure Start and DET have helped many residents of Derwentside find a job that fits around family life.
On the last Friday of every month, Martina, an Employment Adviser with DET, is available at Catchgate Children’s Centre, 10am-12.00noon for anyone to drop in and discuss the possibility of finding and returning to work.
On 6th October DET exhibited at the launch of the Burnhope Children’s Centre to support this welcome addition to the community and to promote our services to the people of Burnhope.
Lara said “It was a really nice day; I think people felt comfortable talking to us about what we do in a friendly environment”
There was a lot of interest on the day and DET is currently working with a number of people who have asked for help to get back to work.
