Partnerships

Our partners are important to us. Successful delivery of Jobcentre Plus services can only be achieved, by working jointly with partner organisations and securing their support.

Jobcentre Plus will work closely with the organisations that can give people who are able to work, the best chance of getting a job.

Relationships with partners often have different levels, in fact some key partners may also provide services on our behalf. It is important to recognise that a relationship concerned with delivering services will be different, and is likely to need to be kept separate and managed differently, from a relationship concerned with taking forward strategic issues.

• Local and national partnerships
• Local partnership opportunities
• Business community partnerships
• International partnerships

Jobcentre Plus vision

Whatever the nature of the relationship, our approach to partnership working must reflect the Jobcentre Plus vision and promote and advance:

• the changes we are putting in place to modernise our customer services and the way they are delivered
• the needs of our priority customers and workforce diversity
• the requirement to deliver better performance with reduced resources and prioritise our partnership relationships.
