Progress2work

Progress2work is a service for people who are recovering from misusing drugs. It can give you the extra support you need to get back into work.

The service can help you to:

• get back into training and work
• sort out problems like your housing, or debts you might have

You can choose whether or not to use progress2work. You don’t have to be claiming benefit to get this support.

How it works

Jobcentre Plus will put you in touch with a specialist caseworker.

Your caseworker will support you through your drug treatment, if necessary. They will help you to find training you need to build up your skills and confidence to go back to work. Your caseworker will also help you look for jobs and apply for them.

When you are back in work or training, your caseworker will stay in touch with you for up to 13 weeks. They will support and help you with any problems that you may have during that time.
