Partnership working is key to Kennedy Scott's approach in delivering to the full range of customers. This can be in the form of referral links, where we signpost our clients to suitable organisations, or are signposted to ourselves, or increasingly of joint delivery partners to enable a wider, seamless offering to funders and clients. If you think there may be useful referral routes, or even just that you're providing services we might be interested in, then contact your local centre manager and they'll be more than happy to talk it through.

Delivery partners

We specialise in job brokerage, employer engagement, pre-employment and soft skills, with funding provided by Jobcentre Plus, ESF, the LSCs, NRF and others. Hence, potential delivery partners will be organisations with expertise in assisting specific disadvantaged client groups, or with specific professional training skills. Examples of current partners include SITO, with whom we deliver security training, and InBiz, who work with us in delivery of self-employment services. We're currently looking for partners across London, the South East and East of England, and the Midlands, in preparation for new bidding rounds. If you are interested in finding out more about potential delivery partnering opportunities then contact our Head Office .

Funding partners

We currently have funding relationships with Jobcentre Plus, Learning Skills Councils, Learndirect hubs and Local Strategic Partnerships across London and the South East and East of England. Each funding contract is assigned a unique contract manager by KS, responsible for ensuring that all aspects of the contract are delivered to the terms of the contract, to the requirements of the funding body, and in the interests of jobseekers and other clients served by the contract. The assigned contract manager maintains frequent contact with their funding body counterpart, and follows the core principles of transparency, flexibility, consistency and accountability in their management of the relationship.

If you're working for a funding body at operational level (e.g. a Jobcentre Plus advisor), your contact will usually be your local centre. If you have difficulties getting in touch with them then our Head Office will be more than happy to ensure that you receive any help you need.
