Maximus have launched their latest Restart scheme in Newham to help people into work. Stephen recently visited the new site to hear about their work.
Restart is a government backed scheme to provide people who have been unemployed for 12 to 18 months with the tailored support they need to overcome barriers and find work. They are working with local community groups to deliver this support.
Stephen visited the new site and met some of the employment advisors helping to deliver the scheme. Speaking after the visit, he said: “I enjoyed visiting Maximus’ new premises in Newham. The Restart scheme has great potential in helping people overcome barriers to work. I applaud the approach Maximus is taking in forming close partnerships with employers urgently looking for staff, and with local initiatives.”
