The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many customers were supported by Telford Job Centre in each year for which data is available.

Answered by Alison McGovern

Telford Jobcentre works closely with local employers and providers to support its customers. Our Work Coaches have tailored appointments to work closely with customers to understand their circumstances and needs.

The Jobcentre offers customers a range of provision which includes job fairs, Sector-based Work Academy Programmes and Mentoring Circles to help those customers who are ready for employment. For those customers on the health journey, Telford Jobcentre has a Disability Employment Advisor (DEA) to engage with customers to ensure they are connected with the right partners such as NHS talking therapies. The DEA and Employer Advisors also work closely with employers to promote Disability Confident, Access to Work and Reasonable Adjustment in the workplace.

Official monthly claimant count statistics by Parliamentary Constituency Areas are published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on the NOMIS website.
