The Restart Scheme is part of the government’s Plan for Jobs. It is designed to give Universal Credit claimants enhanced support to help them find jobs in their local area. Ingeus delivers the Restart Scheme across Greater Manchester and Central and West London on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions, working in partnership with local partners and employers to break down any employment barriers that could be holding people back from finding work. The Restart Scheme provides up to 12 months of tailored support for each participant.
All Restart Scheme meetings and appointments are delivered in person. Participants are required to attend Action Plan Reviews at least every two weeks.
The Restart Scheme offers a maximum of 365 days of personalised, job-focussed support with a dedicated Restart Advisor.
