Ingeus and the South London Partnership have launched an employment and skills support programme for residents in the South London Boroughs of Merton, Sutton, Croydon, Kingston and Richmond Upon Thames.
The Shared Prosperity Fund People and Skills South London Partnership Programme will support 660 unemployed residents with comprehensive, wraparound services to progress them on their journey closer to the labour market. The programme aims to support at least 224 people into good quality jobs.
The programme is open to any resident of the South London Partnership Boroughs who is unemployed with right to work in the UK, and the programme accepts self-referrals and referrals from community support organisations such as charities and community groups. Referrals commenced in May 2024 through to March 2025.
Ingeus has an unrivalled track record delivering employment support programmes for Londoners, supporting over 23,000 residents into employment since 2018 through the Central London Works Work and Health Programme, Pioneer, and Connecting Communities Programmes. Ingeus also delivers the Department for Work and Pensions’ Restart Scheme across Central & West London.
The South London Partnership is a sub-regional collaboration of five London boroughs working to promote the interests of South London’s people, places, and businesses.
Through its own extensive experience of place-based support, Ingeus recognises the importance that effective and localised service integration can play in providing effective support for London residents. South London partnership will build on their existing place-based leadership to offer a comprehensive network of fully integrated and localised services, including skills and training, health and disability and financial support.
Beam and Belina Consulting work alongside Ingeus as trusted supply chain partners to provide additional specialist support for programme participants.
