Confident to Work
A package of innovative and individually tailored support options to help incapacity benefit claimants gain the confidence they need to return to work.

Do any of these statements apply to you?

 "I don’t have the confidence to work"

"I think I would benefit from some training"

"I don’t think my health condition will allow me to work"

"I would like to have more money coming in"

"I want to find out more about my employment options"

"Self-employment might be a good option for me"

"I need to work for an employer who is sympathetic to my needs"

"I’m not ready to work now but I’m thinking about my options for the future"

"I want to work flexible hours"

If so, then the Kennedy Scott Confident to Work project can help.Or if these statements sound familiar but do not exactly describe your needs, then perhaps Advice & Guidance, our sister project, is for you.

 

About Confident to Work 

We understand that for many people on Incapacity Benefit returning to work can seem a tough challenge, especially if they have had a long spell away from employment or are still adjusting to an ongoing condition. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to work even if their health limits their options. We want you to see what you can do, what you would enjoy doing and help you understand how you can manage your condition in the workplace. As you become more confident, we will help you to explore the employment opportunities available to you so that you can makethe right choice. Confident to Work can help you increase your confidence and provides appropriate employment advice from people who understand your needs. The project lasts up to 13 weeks, is provided free of charge and does not affect your benefits.Your own Personal Development Coach supports you throughout your time on the project, working with you step by step to help you attain your goals. We can also:
