Connect to Work is part of the Government's 'Get Britain Working' plan. This plan helps people find jobs. The Government wants 80% of people to have jobs by 2050. Suffolk County Council will run the programme in Suffolk.
In the UK, about 3 million people do not have jobs. Out of these, 1.9 million people want to work but cannot because of health issues or disabilities. Connect to Work will help up to 100,000 people with disabilities, long-term health problems, or other challenges in England and Wales find jobs.
It will connect local job, health, and skills support. It will help people get and keep jobs through a voluntary supported employment model. This model follows the Individual Placement Support (IPS) and Supported Employment Quality Framework (SEQF) Fidelity models.

Our Adult Skills and Employment Team will manage Connect to Work in Suffolk. The team will work with Delivery Providers Seetec and Pluss CIC, who have a strong track record of Supported Employment success in Suffolk.
If you’re someone in Suffolk who could benefit from help finding and keeping paid work, you can self-refer to Connect to Work through Seetec via their website:
You can read the Connect to Work: Grant Guidance for England on the GOV.UK website. You can also read the Privacy Statement: Personal Information Charter on the DWP page on GOV.UK.
