National charity Advance will be the only new Third Sector organisation to be awarded contracts in the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) Work Choice programme when contracts are confirmed this week.
The charity which was named as a preferred bidder, has welcomed the opportunity to bring its expertise to help people with disabilities into work in Birmingham, Solihull and the Black Country.
The new multi million pound Work Choice programme replaces existing employment programmes for disabled people who are furthest away from the labour market and is expected to go live in October.
“We are proud of our unique service-user powered employment service that is already working for hundreds of people in Leicestershire, and in the South,” said Advance employment director Simon Beasley.
Established in 2001, Advance Employment is part of the Advance Group, which provides housing support and employment services to 3,500 people across the UK.
