People who are not on Jobseekers Allowance or do not have access to a Work Coach can register on Universal Jobmatch which is a free service that enables them to search and apply for jobs. It allows them to create a personalised profile and a CV that will help match them to job opportunities and allow employers to match their skill set against the specific job and invite them to apply.

In addition they can access the self service facilities that are available in the Jobcentre and be sign posted to other areas of support and provision in the area.
